The players have returned from break to begin Level 5, with increased blinds of 300-600 with a 600 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up six players with at least 150K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Roger Teska  –  226,500  (378 bb)
2.  David Farber  –  180,100  (300 bb)
3.  Ahamed Meman  –  169,200  (282 bb)

5.  Omer Rotman  –  151,700  (253 bb)
6.  Hector Pacheco  –  150,500  (251 bb)

The Day 1B field is up to 405 entries, which means the total field is up to 948, and the prizepool is worth more than $4.59 million, crushing the $3 million guarantee. Registration remains open until the beginning of Level 9, around 9:15 pm.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 6, around 5:30 pm, and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 10, around 11:15 pm.
