35 minutes into the level, Gavin Smith has finally returned to his table with only 12,000 left.
Gavin Smith and Michele Limongi were heads-up before the dinner break, but after the break, Limongi returned and Smith did not.

At this point, besides a few stragglers, pretty much all tables are heads-up, so the winners will keep pouring in as we find them.
