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

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 give us an unofficial top-five leaderboard:

1.  Min Zhang  –  306,000  (122 bb)
2.  Alex Rocha  –  303,000  (121 bb)
3.  Shannon Shorr  –  210,000  (84 bb)
4.  Chance Kornuth  –  201,000  (80 bb)
5.  Alberto Sabogali  –  196,000  (78 bb)

With 99 players remaining from a field of 413, the average chip stack is about 83,500 (33 big blinds).
