A scan of the field during the break made it very clear that Chris Perry had a huge lead over the rest of the field with 451,000 (113 big blinds) — he has 56% more chips than anyone else in the field.

Here’s the top of the leaderboard from the break:

1.  Chris Perry  –  451,000  (113 bb)
2.  Michael Johnally  –  290,000  (73 bb)
3.  Mahmut Urkun  –  267,000  (67 bb)

Nobody else in the field had a chip stack above 235K.

With 95 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 109,000 (27 big blinds), and this flight will play as long as it takes to reach the final 65 players. The survivors at the end of this flight will make the money and advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
