Event #54: 10,000 No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT Championship

Jack Effel has informed the players that the schedule for the day is to play out the rest of Level 19 (about 38 minutes), take a quick fifteen-minute break, and then play five more levels, with the dinner break occurring after the end of Level 22. He stressed that the tournament staff (and ESPN, presumably) will be evaluating the situation throughout the day to see what makes most sense.
