Players are heading on break in just a few minutes, and will be returning to Level 22 and blinds of 8,000/16,000/2,000.  The chip average of 444,000 is just under (30) blinds, so play is still fairly deep across the field.  Heading to break, there are two players that walk away from the table leaving over 1,000,000 in chips at their seat.  Both Luis Gonzalez and Andrew Rakusa have set themselves up for a super deep run in the tournament, this after starting in the bottom third when returning for Day 2.

Luis Gonzalez - Entered Day 2 with 80,300, and now sits with 1,100,000 in front of him.

Andre Rakusa - Entered Day 2 with 71,500, and now sits with 1,000,000 in front of him.

An updated list of chip counts will be posted shortly after players return from break.
