Level 11: 2,000/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Players Remaining: ~90 out of 370

Jeff Conine After the 1st Break — Jeff Conine is still in the field after the first break.

As Level 11 begins, the field is down to the final 10 tables, which means there are about 90 players remaining, with an average chip stack around 41,000 (14 big blinds).

It turns out that Jeff Conine did survive the start of the tournament, but he built up enough chips that he could afford to spend a lot of time away from the table mingling with people.

But now that the first break is over (along with the auctions), Conine can focus on the poker along with everyone else.

Here are a few updated chip counts from after the break:

Jeff Conine – 57,000
Michael Damiani – 33,000
Randall Fernandez – 22,000
Roberto Luongo – 22,000
