The players have just returned to their seats following the latest break in the action with 24 levels of play in the books. The blinds continue to catch up with the field, as the chip average now provides slightly less than 25 big blinds.

Jishant Sapra accomplished an unlikely feat this afternoon by maintaining the chip lead from the first to second break, despite the fast and aggressive play that reduced the field to double digits in such a short amount of time. But there are a number of players hot on his heels as the huge blinds give each passing hand more importance so he will have to stay sharp in order to maintain the pole position.
