A scan of the field during the break turned up five players with at least 100K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Giuseppe Morello  –  137,100  (274 bb)
2.  Ted Hatzakortzian  –  134,700  (269 bb)
3.  Tim O’Shea  –  119,300  (239 bb)
4.  Yang Lei  –  105,300  (211 bb)
5.  Marc Seymour  –  102,500  (205 bb)
