Led by the players, there has been a change of plans. They will now revert to the original plan at the start of the day.
There will be a 15-minute break at the end of this level to color up the chips. When they resume, play continues until they lose another player and the official final table is set. The day will then end, and the final nine players will come back tomorrow to play to a winner. There's no dinner break today.
