As players were away from the tables during the most recent break, we had an opportunity to scan the empty tables for updated chip counts.  There weren't many larger stacks emerging across the field, with everything pretty flat amongst those still active.  The chip average is 32,500, which is just 12,000 over the starting stack, and seemingly the range that currently trending across the field.  Here are some of the top counts post break, as well as notable stacks still alive:

Steve Smith - 97,000
Maury Halperin - 80,000
Johnathan Booker - 75,000
Kenneth Bruno - 65,000

Notables:

Yves Ferquiere - 44,000
Kobi Ribak - 40,000
Luke Rosenberg - 35,000
Tom Gity - 21,000
Neil Blumenfield - 18,000
