6.  Ryan Hogan  –  798,000  (133 bb)

With 196 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 296,000 (49 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).
