After a lengthy period without much movement in the field, several players were eliminated in short succession to bring about a seating redraw now that 16 players are left. The stacks are slightly deeper thanks to the recent eliminations, bringing the chip average up to roughly 28 big blinds.
Ryan Yu held the largest stack at the last break and has continued to accumulate chips, but following a flurry of action Santiago Plante has returned to the front of the pack by running his stack well beyond the 2-million mark.
