Play is being paused for a moment while the blinds/antes schedule is being double-checked.

Some players expected a 2,500/5,000 level after the previous one (2,000/4,000), and said as much. But a quick review of the structure sheet shows that indeed we are now moving to 3,000/6,000, with a 500 ante.
