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

A scan of the field during the break turned up only two players with at least 200K in chips, plus one more knocking on the door, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Neal Corcoran  –  279,000  (140 bb)
2.  Borja Iglesias  –  205,500  (103 bb)
3.  Andrew Zhu  –  199,000  (100 bb)

With about 240 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 65,000 (33 big blinds).

This flight will continue playing until there are 98 players left, and the survivors will make the money and advance to Day 2, which begins tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 pm. You must bag chips at the end of Day 1 to finish in the money.
