A scan of the field during the break turned up four players with at least 300K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

3.  Kevin Laird  –  351,000  (88 bb)

With about 185 players remaining from a flight of 1,056, the average chip stack is around 114,000 (29 big blinds). Action will continue tonight until there are 132 players remaining, and everyone who bags up chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.
