The players are now on a 15-minute break with Level 18 behind them.
Serving as an indication of how deep the stacks are right now, Carl Garland and Tommy Ingram just played a careful looking 60,000-chip pot with pocket aces versus big slick.
Ingram shoved the aces on a queen-high flop and Garland gave up in a hand that might otherwise play all in preflop given a more shallow structure.
With the current average stack holding more than 40 big blinds right now, patience is ruling the day.
