Level 11:  1,500/2,500 with a 2,500 ante
Day 1A Players Remaining:  155 of 548

The players return from break to begin Level 11, with increased blinds of 1,500-2,500 and a 2,500 ante. This will be the last level of the night, and action should end around 12:30 am.

With about 155 players remaining from a Day 1A field of 548, the average chip stack is about 141,500 (57 big blinds). A scan of the field during the break turned up at least four players with 400K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Hasan Hakim  –  443,500  (177 bb)
2.  Matthew Zazaian  –  439,000  (176 bb)
3.  Gabriel Abusada  –  414,500  (166 bb)
4.  Justin Liberto  –  405,500  (162 bb)

Hasan Hakim has only played two events before this one during this WPT Tampa series, finishing fifth in Event #1 to earn $76,080, and winning Event #13 last night to win $75,347 more.

Hakim is having a very good week, and his momentum continues here on Day 1A of the $3,500 Championship.
