Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The tournament organization has just announced that the tournament structure will be changed due to the amount of time all the players played yesterday.

There are currently 20 minutes remaining of this level. The players will finish this level, go on their break as scheduled. When they return, they will play one more level and then go for their 60-minute dinner break (one level earlier than planned. When the remaining players return from their dinner break, they will play three more 100-minute levels with the normal breaks in between.

So instead of the scheduled seven levels for today, the players "only" need to play six levels today until they can bag and tag their chips for Day 4 of the MARATHON which starts at noon local time, Thursday, June 14.
