A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 700K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Frank Funaro  –  971,000  (243 bb)

3.  Stephen Kehoe  –  869,000  (217 bb)

With about 290 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 200,000 (50 big blinds). The final 146 players will finish in the money, with a min-cash worth $6,400.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 16 (around 6:30 pm), and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20 (around 12:15 am).
