Level 18 (5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total RG Main Event Entries: 381
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 423,000
With the elimination of JD Ontiveros, the RG Tulsa Main Event field is down to 18 players. The final two tables have been drawn for and the remaining players are now only eight seats away from the unofficial final table. 

Gil George is still the chip leader and is the first player to hit 1,500,000. George holds about 20 percent of the chips in play and is a favorite to make the final table. There is an interesting dynamic on the other table as Jonathan Nguyen, Greg Jennings, and Tai Du are seated consecutively next to each other with the trio all over 650,000. Nguyen and Du have battled quite a bit today and we likely haven't see the last of the two of them butting heads. 

Level 18 is nearing a close and players will be on a 15-minute break shortly. When they return, they will play three more levels before taking a dinner break or if the final table happens to be reached before the end of Level 21, they will take dinner then.
