Charlemagne Benjamin
If chipleader Charlemagne Benjamin were to finish this flight with his current chip stack, he would be third in chips compared to all the survivors from the first six starting flights.

The players have returned from break to begin Level 15, with increased blinds of 2,000-4,000 with a 4,000 ante.

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

1.  Charlemagne Benjamin  –  626,000  (157 bb)
2.  Alcides Gomez  –  382,000  (96 bb)
3.  Jose Rivera  –  373,000  (93 bb)
4.  J.J. Jensen  –  365,000  (91 bb)

With about 198 players remaining, the average chip stack is around 127,000 (32 big blinds). This flight is playing down to the final 126 players, and everyone who bags chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.
