The field returned from a five-minute break a couple of minutes ago and Level 9 has now begun with blinds of 800/1,600 and an ante of 200. "Kevgee77" has overtaken the chip lead by a sizeable margin, though plenty of worthy competitors find themselves atop the first page of the leader board. Among them are Brian "TopCreature" Sherrier and Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty, both of whom round out the top three in counts.
