The slow crawl to the money has begun and they are heading into Level 18 of the Main Event. The bubble should burst before they see another break.

Edgardo Rosario ramped his stack up over the last level and now sits with 1,075,000. Anthony Askey also added to his since break and joined the million-chip club with 1,030,000.

Blinds are now 4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 ante and the average stack is about 367,000 (46 bb) with 44 players remaining.

The Main Event is down to the last six tables with 48 players remaining and 41 getting paid. We expect things to slow down as the bubble gets closer and the money is in sight.

Jason Kapoor is the first player over one million and his 1,018,000 leads heading into the bubble. It looks like a lot of that came at the expense of Jeremy Becker who is down to 115,000.
