Level 11 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Day 1B Entries: 110

Victor Figueroa (Miami, FL) had been flying under the radar for most of the day, but now sits with close to 175,000, and is one of the top stacks in the field.

Players are about to head on their final (15) minute break of the day, and will be returning to Level 10, with new blinds of 800/1,600/200 (82,000 chip average).  Once play resumes, there will be two more levels remaining in the night, with the bagging process beginning at the conclusion of Level 12.  The Day 1B field has lost two tables over the last hour, with (40) players now left in the tournament area, spread across five tables.  There are numerous notables still remaining, many of which are flourishing in these later stages of the night:

Victor Figueroa - 175,000
