Gil Levy and Lucas Jumalon and Jorge Rivera — The top three chipleaders in this field — Gil Levy (left), Lucas Jumalon (center), and Jorge Rivera (right) — are all seated next to each other.

The players return from break to begin Level 15, 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 300K in chips:

1. Jorge Rivera – 368,000 (92 bb)
2. Gil Levy – 337,000 (84 bb)
3. Lucas Jumalon – 308,000 (77 bb)
4. Mauricio Ameller – 301,000 (75 bb)

Surprisingly, the three chipleaders are all seated side-by-side-by-side at the same table.

With 66 players remaining, the average chip stack is around 135,000 (34 big blinds).

This flight will play as many 30-minute levels as it takes to reach the final 56 players, which will also be the Money Bubble. Everybody who bags chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.
