The players returned from dinner to begin Level 10, with increased blinds of 3,000-5,000 and a 5,000 ante.

Registration is now closed, and the tournament clock shows an unofficial field size of 72 entries, which would mean seven players entered (or re-entered) during the dinner break.

A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 400K in chips, plus one more knocking on the door to create an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Leon Sturm  –  601,000  (120 bb)
2.  Philip Shing  –  495,000  (99 bb)
3.  Corey Wade  –  432,000  (86 bb)
4.  Christopher Frank  –  431,000  (86 bb)
5.  Erik Seidel  –  428,000  (86 bb)
6.  Marius Gierse  –  399,000  (80 bb)

With 35 players remaining from a field of 72, the average chip stack is about 206,000 (41 big blinds). We expect the payouts to be released soon.
