The players returned from break to begin Level 15, with increased blinds of 2,000-4,000 with a 4,000 ante. With 104 players remaining from a Flight C field of 622, the average chip stack is about 120,000 (30 big blinds).

A scan of the field during the break turned up three players with at least 350K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Ricardo Velasco  –  455,000  (114 bb)
2.  Haim Toorgeman  –  381,000  (95 bb)
3.  Francois Gagne  –  374,000  (94 bb)

Action will continue tonight until there are 63 players remaining. Those players will finish in the money and advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
