3 or 9?

Greg Raymer's 180,000 stack leads the way as players return from their final 15-minute break of the night.

The question now is whether play continues for 3 more 40-minute levels or when 9 more players are knocked out. Tonight's Hard-stop is the end of Level 15 or when down to 8 players, whatever comes first.

124,000 - Ed Sebesta
78,000 - Robert Geith

60,000 - Ben Keeline

34,000 - Rex Clinkscales 

21,000 - Cord Garcia

Level - 12
