Peter Nigh is right behind chip leader Viet Vo as the Event 99 field nears dinner break.
The Event 99 field is paring down at a swift pace and only seven tables of hopefuls remain. There is likely to be two or three tables left in play by the end of the night and only seven full levels remain by the time that comes. The average stack will likely hover around 30 big blinds for the rest of the tournament and any player over 1,000,000 is within immediate striking distance of the chip lead.
Vieto Vo holds the current lead of 2,250,000, putting him slightly ahead of tablemate Peter Nigh. As the blinds continue to escalate every 40 minutes, we are likely to see the two collide at some point.
Players will be on a 30-minute dinner break at the end of Level 24 and then return to play the final six levels of the night. A look at the updated leaderboard is below.
