During the break, dealers raced off the 500 denominated chips as blinds move up to 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante. Additionally, the tournament director asked the dealers to update the chip counts for each player. We will update the top ten player stacks when this information is made available.
As far as the bubble goes, it is anyone's guess as far as how long it will take to break. There are a few short stacks, but it does not appear there are any players in serious danger of being blinded off within the couple of orbits.
The bubble doesn't want to break with the tournament in hand for hand mode for almost 40 minutes.
A short while ago, a crowd gathered when Jan Kusters declared himself all-in for 114,000 chips on a 
board after his opponent Tony Ringe led out for 30,000. The pot already had around 150,000 in the middle before the river.
While Ringe tanked, a player not in the hand called the clock to help speed things along. Ringe callled with 30 seconds remaining with 
which proved to be no match to Kusters' 
for a full house.

Mate Mecs opened to 15,000 chips, and Bhavin Khatri went over the top for his remaining 155,000 chip stack. Mecs called with 
and it looked like Khatri might hit the rail as the bubble boy when he turned over 
.
The crowd ooh'ed and ahh'ed when the 
flop gave Khatri a set and a lead in the hand. The on the turn gave Mecs some more outs with a potential club flush. Khatri avoided the bubble and won a big hand when the 
did not improve his opponent's hand.
