75 players remain after nearly 90 minutes of play. With just 70 of these 75 making the money, play is slowing down a considerable amount. Once we get to 71 players, the tournament will be hand-for-hand to make sure every table is playing at the same speed. The min-cash in this $575 Main Event is $885 and while it may not be considered a massive cash, it is the first step towards the $53,545 top prize.
With exactly 71 players remaining, we are now hand for hand awaiting the next bustout. PokerNews will be back soon with updates on players in the money.
After numerous short stack double ups, 71 players still remain as Level 15 comes to a close. Players are on a 15 minute break and will return to hand for hand action once the break comes to an end.
