Play Resumes

[user75032]

We were on a short break while Michael Mizrachi gave his bust-out interview to ESPN, some of the pink (T5,000) chips were colored up, and the prize money was moved to the TV table. Now that all of those tasks have been completed, cards are back in the air with 49:09 left on the clock in Level 27. Who will win - the Canadian or the Irishman? We'll know soon enough.
