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

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 200K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Jake Wathey  –  357,500  (179 bb)
2.  Joe McKeehen  –  284,000  (142 bb)
3.  Joey Block  –  230,000  (115 bb)
4.  Devin Ullman  –  228,500  (114 bb)
5.  Johnny Bromberg  –  217,500  (109 bb)

With about 230 players remaining, the average chip stack is around 80,500 (40 big bets).

Action will continue tonight until there 93 players left, and everyone who bags chips will be in the money and advance to Day 2, which begins tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 pm.
