The action has just resumed in level 9, following the second break of the day.

There are still 68 players in contention, and the stacks are still deep. The current chip average provides a little more than 60 big blinds, enough for players to take any kind of line they see fit. Israel Panataleon and Mehdi Badreddine are neck and neck for the chip lead, while a handful of players are sitting comfortably with more than double the current chip average.
