Still Stuck at 14

We've been stuck at 14 players for about an hour now, with five eliminations to go before we call it a night. The heavily amateur field seems to be very interested in the various money jumps, as their railbirds keep coming up to the PokerNews desk with questions about the payouts.

13th and 14th place go home with just over $29,000 while 10th-12th earn nearly $37,000. I'm sure there's more than one player left at these two tables right now who is calculating how many mortgage payments he could make if he just folded to the next level.

The biggest pay jump we'll see this night, though, is from tenth to ninth where there is a $22,000-plus difference, not to mention the distinction of making a WSOP final table.
