Tournament Supervisor Rick Mims just made announcement to the players remaining regarding the schedule, letting them know that the plan is to bag after Level 28 (and return tomorrow).  Nothing is set in stone, but that's the tentative plan as of now.

Moments after that announcement, Jim Hamburger and David Inselberg got it in blind v. blind, with Hamburger holding 3♥ 3♠ against David's A♣ Q♣.  Jim would flop a set to double up, leaving Inselberg will just under 300,000.  The two would get it in again just two hands later, with Inselberg getting the best of Hamburger in round two.

Jim Hamburger - 700,000
David Inselberg - 650,000

The level transitioned a few minutes ago to Level 14, with blinds going up to 12,000/24,000/3,000, and a 742,000 chip average (just over 30 big blinds).  Esther Foley won a sizable pot towards the end of Level 23, getting it in with 3♣ 3♥ against the Q♠ Q♣ of Steven Bennett, but fortunate enough to flop a set and eliminate Bennett.  Esther is now over 1,200,000, and holding a top ten stack in the field.  With the elimination of Paula Alibrandi before dinner, Esther is now the "last lady standing."

David Gelley (Boca Raton, FL)

David Lopez started the day with the second largest chip stack (376,500), but had a roller coaster afternoon that saw his graph spike up and down for hours.  Edward Novak began the day with exactly chip average, and spent most of the day trending upward, eclipsing 500,000 at his peak.  They were both all-in and at risk pre against David Gelley, who held the best hand heading to the runout:

Gelley: A♠ J♣

Lopez: J♠ 10♠

Novak: A♥ 8♥

Board: A♣ K♦ 7♥ 6♠ 5♦

Gelley's hand would hold the whole way through, and he'd eliminated both players, while chipping up to 1,200,000.

David "Coldstone" Inselberg (New York, NY) returned from break as the only player to eclipse the 1,000,000 chip mark, and while he's lost just a little over the first (20) minutes of Level 21, he still sits with 1,050,000.  Inselberg's name and face may not be familiar to the Florida poker community, but he's been a successful tournament player for close to ten years up north, and is now a heavy favorite to make a deep run in this tournament.

Paula Alibrandi and Esther Foley...last ladies remaining.

Players are about to take their second break of the day, and will be returning to play another two levels.  At the conclusion of the next pair of levels, those still left in the field will head on a (45) minute dinner break.  Of the (43) player that have made it to this stage of the tournament, two of them are women...Paula Alibrandi and Esther Foley.  Alibrandi started the day with 208,000, but has managed to find herself sitting with over 470,000...courtesy of a little luck against Maurice Hawkins.  Paula was all-in and at risk against Hawkins, holding Q♠ Q♣ against his A♣ K♦, but somehow managed to grab back the lead after a K♠ 8♠ 3♣ flop.  The turn and river brough Paula running spades, and she managed to continue trending up after that good fortune.

Esther Foley was in the bottom third of the chip counts when Day 2 play resumes, but she is now sitting with a top ten stack (770,000).  Esther is coming off a runner-up finish in the $300 No Limit Hold'em Ladies Event during the most recent SHRPO, and it seems as if her good run has continued through this event.

Angelo Miele (Hollywood, FL)

Poker players have long arranged their chips in different ways, with the most popular (in tournaments) option being in twenty-stacks.  They are then arranged in a line, a pyramid formation, some like to stack them in forty stacks...some messy, some neat and organized.  One of the more under utilized options is the ten-stacks, as they quickly take up room across the player's personal "surface area."  Angelo Meile (Hollywood, FL) has managed to fit his over 900,000 chip leading stack in ten-stacks in front of him.  It's a long reach to peer down at the cards when they are almost arms length away, but Miele is doing just fine with it.  He's one of a group that has gained some separation from the rest of the field:

Angelo Miele - 925,000

Steven Bennett - 750,000

Russell Williams - 630,000
