Play will resume in Level 23 and blinds will be 10,000/25,000 with a 25,000 big blind ante. French player Gregory [Removed:372] will return with the chip lead holding 2,500,000 chips, good for 100 big blinds. Others over the two-million chip mark are Brazil’s Lucas Scafini (2,250,000), Eugenio Peralta (2,240,000), and Florian Decamps (2,150,000).

Some notables still in contention for the top prize and the glory include Mehdi Chaoui, Imad Derwiche, Jaime Cervantes, Motoyoshi Okamura, and Javier Gomez. The field will continue to be whittled down today before players return on Monday to play to a winner. Today, the plan is to play ten levels or down to six players.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews team continues to bring you updates throughout the tournament until a champion is crowned.
