Level 11:  800/1,600 with a 1,600 ante
Flight C Players Remaining:  207 of 665

We thought Jessica Cai would be among the leaders at the break and we were mostly right. She is the leader at the break with 228,000 in her stack to pace the field.

There’s a long way to go, with only 67 of the 207 remaining booking a spot on Day 2, but she is in a good position for a deep run.
