The players return from break to begin Level 17, with blinds at 3,000-6,000 and a big blind ante of 6,000.

There are 58 players remaining, but only 57 get paid in this flight (12.5%), so they are currently playing hand-for-hand on the Money Bubble. The final 57 players are guaranteed to earn at least $800.

A scan of the field during the break showed five people with at least 250K in chips, but only two with at least 300K:

1.  Roman Budzak  –  389,000  (65 bb)
2.  Justin Howey  –  347,000  (58 bb)

Action will continue tonight until this field is down to 32 players (7% of this flight). Those players will bag up their chips as they advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 2:00 pm.
