Chipleader Amir Baron

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

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 225K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Amir Baron  –  281,000  (112 bb)
2.  Carlos Rodriguez  –  247,000  (99 bb)
3.  Nancy Thomas  –  238,000  (95 bb)
4.  Robert Garcia  –  234,000  (94 bb)
5.  Tamara Goldshteyn  –  228,000  (91 bb)

Chipleader Amir Baron was called a “luckbox” by one of the other players at the table, because he recently got pocket aces on back-to-back hands and won them both.

With about 60 players remaining from a field of 272, the average chip stack is about 91,000 (36 big blinds). The final 34 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $625 each.
