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, a surprisingly low number for a field this large.

1.  Fernando Rodriguez  –  245,000  (123 bb)
2.  Matt Mayo  –  205,000  (103 bb)
