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 six players with at least 550K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Max Kingstone  –  823,000  (206 bb)
2.  Gediminas Uselis  –  630,000  (158 bb)
3.  Josh Kay  –  591,000  (148 bb)

5.  Paul Balzano  –  561,000  (140 bb)

With about 360 players remaining from a field of 1,541, the average chip stack is around 214,000 (54 big blinds). The final 193 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $5,600 each.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 16 (around 6:30-6:45 pm, depending on the Money Bubble), and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20, around 11:30 pm.
