Level 15:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Day 1A Players Remaining:  20 of 187

It was a race between the bubble and one more break. The break won.

There were 21 players remaining as Level 14 was closing to leave them only one elimination away from hand-for-hand on the money bubble. Tournament staff sent them on break, colored off the purple chips, and they returned to start Level 15.

Two and a half minutes into the fresh levels and they lost one. Tournament staff paused the clock and will take two minutes off for each hand until one more player is eliminated. Once that is done, the remaining 19 players will bag their chips for Day 2 in the money.
