The players return from 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 three players with at least 300K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Satish Surapaneni  –  309,500  (155 bb)
2.  Manish Chaddha  –  249,000  (125 bb)
3.  Vincenzo Abate  –  232,000  (116 bb)

With about 180 players remaining from a flight of 658, the average chip stack is around 73,000 (37 big blinds). Action will continue until there are 83 players remaining, and everyone who bags up chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.
