Lyle Bateman

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The Main Event is now down to 16 players remaining. The plan is to play until the end of Level 20, but given that they are down to two tables relatively early, its possible they will play down to nine before then.

Break Time

Lyle Bateman

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Its time for another 20 minute break with the end of Level 18. The plan for Day 2 was to play down to a final table, but with the exceptionally long bubble today, they've decided to play till the end of Level 20 and stop for the night no matter how many players still remain. However, if they play down to 9 players before then, they'll stop play early.

The official final table at Unibet events is eight-handed, but they will combine to a single table with nine players remaining. The structure on the final day will also vary depending on the players remaining. From nine-handed to seven-handed they will continue to play 1 hour levels. At six handed, they will reduce the level time to 45 minutes, and when there are just three players remaining, they will reduce again to 30 minute blinds.
