Level 10
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
While the Main Event has entered the penultimate level for the night, the €2,200 High Roller is down to the final 12 players and on the money bubble. Carl Shaw was left short and busted not long ago, Chris Moorman suffered the same fate. Others still in contention are Sofia Lovgren, Sergio Alonso, Ignacio Molina, and Sonny Franco.
The blinds will go up shortly and reduce the big blind average to fewer than 40, which remains insanely deep for this stage of the tournament.
