The players return from break to begin Level 26, with increased blinds of 25,000-50,000 and a big blind ante of 50,000.

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least four million in chips, plus one more knocking on the door to create an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  John Howe  –  4,920,000  (98 bb)
2.  Sebastian Toro Henao  –  4,720,000  (94 bb)
3.  Milan Gurung  –  4,500,000  (90 bb)
4.  Brendan Feinberg  –  4,345,000  (87 bb)
5.  Dejan Petkovic  –  4,045,000  (81 bb)
6.  Mike Hager  –  3,985,000  (80 bb)

With 56 players remaining from a field of 4,783, the average chip stack is around 1,710,000 (34 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,900 each.

There will be a hard stop tonight at 2:00 am, and Day 3 begins tomorrow (Monday) at 1:00 pm, when they will play down to a winner.
