The players have returned from break to begin Level 18, with increased blinds of 4,000-8,000 and an 8,000 ante. The field is still on the Money Bubble with 51 players left, as no more than 50 can advance from this flight.

A scan of the field during the break turned up six players with at least 350K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Henry Billete  –  509,000  (64 bb)
2.  Daniyal Gheba  –  466,000  (58 bb)
3.  Craig Pollak  –  443,000  (55 bb)
4.  Richard Yau  –  421,000  (53 bb)
5.  Ephy Uzan  –  383,000  (48 bb)
6.  Walter Bravo  –  358,000  (45 bb)

With 51 players remaining from a flight of 497, the average chip stack is around 195,000 (24 big blinds). Action will continue until the field is down to 50 players, and everyone who bags chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.
