The players returned from break to begin Level 30, with increased blinds of 75,000-125,000 with a 125,000 ante.

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least six million in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Willy Stadele  –  9,925,000  (79 bb)
2.  Phu Vo  –  7,325,000  (59 bb)
3.  Fabian Foster  –  7,050,000  (56 bb)
4.  Jorge Gomez  –  6,775,000  (54 bb)
5.  Donavon Wright  –  6,075,000  (49 bb)

With 30 players remaining from a field of 6,134, the average chip stack is about 4,085,000 (41 big blinds). The field is in the money, and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $5,465 each.

Action will continue tonight until the end of this level (about 2:20 am), and then return to finish the tournament tomorrow (Monday) at 3:00 pm EST.
