The players return from dinner to begin Level 13, with increased blinds of 1,500-2,500 and a big blind ante of 2,500.

A scan of the field during the dinner break turned up four players with at least 200K in chips, plus one more knocking on the door to create an unofficial top five.

2.  Carmine Tirone  –  232,500  (93 bb)
3.  Conrad Simpson  –  231,500  (93 bb)

5.  Katie Lindsay  –  199,500  (80 bb)

With 126 players remaining from a field of 520, the average chip stack is about 82,500 (33 big blinds). The final 65 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $1,740 each.
