Level 12: 1,000/2,000 and a 2,000 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 165 of 606

The players return from break to begin Level 12, with increased blinds of 1,000-2,000 with a 2,000 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up only two players with at least 180K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1. Michel Simoneau – 235,000 (118 bb)
2. Dan Saffer – 218,000 (109 bb)

With about 165 players remaining from a flight of 606, the average chip stack is around 73,500 (37 big blinds). Action will continue until there are 76 players remaining, and everyone who bags up chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.
