There were a couple of players knocking on the door of 200K in chips, but one of them just took a solid hit to drop down to about 150K.

That leaves Carlos Velasco as the chipleader at the moment with about 190,000 (119 big blinds).

With about 185 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 55,900 (35 big blinds), and the field will play as long as it takes to reach the final 65 players. The survivors at the end of the day will make the money and advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
