Players Holding On

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The 49 remaining players are really feeling the pressure now. The field is getting smaller by the hour and everyone can see the tiny light at the end of the tunnel. We have two levels of play left tonight so it will be interesting to see if some of the shorter stacks can maneuver their way back up the chip counts during these last couple of hours.
