Cards have been back in the air for about 15 minutes with no eliminations. Chip counts will be available after every level. The three chip-leaders are all between 70-80 big blinds after putting some ground between themselves and the field. The shortest stacks are between 16-23 big blinds and will have plenty of time to pick and choose their spots. Here’s how they started the post-dinner session:
