Level 23 went relatively uneventful. No all-ins called. The players have settled into a small ball game, with minimum bets being the norm. Not much has changed in the current chip counts, except for one hand where Grant Hinkle's Q♥Q♦ held up against Jesse Jones's A♥J♦ on a board of K♦J♠T♠6♥6♣.
Here's where the players stack up:
| Seat | Player | Chip Count |
| 3 | JD Hays | 600,000 |
| 8 | Jesse Jones | 1,080,000 |
| 9 | Grant Hinkle | 2,300,000 |
