Still alive from Team PokerStars are Noah Boeken (Netherlands) and Sandra Naujoks (Germany). Boeken currently has 240,000 and is hovering just below the top 10. Naujoks has 165,000 at the moment -- a little below average, putting her in the middle of the pack.
Just 40 players remain. The top 27 spots pay.
