The players have returned from break to begin Level 13, with increased blinds of 2,000-4,000 with a 4,000 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up four players with at least 600K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Justin Brain  –  685,000  (171 bb)
2.  Konstantin Held  –  673,000  (168 bb)
3.  Christopher Frank  –  646,000  (162 bb)
4.  Tyler Stafman  –  609,000  (152 bb)

With about 420 players remaining from a field of 1,692, the average chip stack is around 201,000 (50 big blinds). The final 212 players will finish in the money, earning at least $5,915 each.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 16 (around 6:35 pm), and action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 20 (about 12:30 am).
