As the blinds keep rising, the field keeps shrinking. From a total of 213 entries into this evening’s flight, the group of players has now been reduced to only 66. And it’s not too big a surprise, frankly, as over the last several minutes it seems as if there has been an all-in shove every few seconds!

And yet, strangely enough, here at the end of level 12 we don’t see any particular player running away with things. Based on the latest chip count, it was clear that the chips have been spread fairly democratically amongst the players, with only three of them appearing to have more than 100,000 chips. That trend is likely to change, however, as we enter the last two levels. We expect the group to number closer to 40 by the end of the level 14, which should wrap in approximately one hour.
