The players return from their break to begin Level 12, with increased blinds of 1,000-2,000 with a 2,000 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up six players with at least 200K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Phillip Theard  –  310,000  (155 bb)
2.  Phu Vo  –  264,500  (132 bb)
3.  Justin Datloff  –  238,000  (119 bb)
4.  Rich Milo  –  228,500  (114 bb)
5.  Ben Boston  –  208,000  (104 bb)
6.  Kai Oki  –  206,000  (103 bb)

With about 153 players remaining from a flight of 574 entries, the average chip stack is about 75,000 (38 big blinds).

This flight will continue playing tonight until only 10% of the field remains (58 players), and everyone who bags chips will advance to Day 2 on Sunday and finish in the money.
