The players have just returned to their seats, and play has resumed in level 5. More new players and re-entries came in during the break, bringing the total number of entries up to 232.

The fast action of the early levels helped several players build up their stacks, but none more so than Gil Levy. Levy was fortunate enough to flop a nut flush and get maximum value on the last hand before the break to bring his stack up to almost unfathomable heights. With over 480 big blinds in his possession, Levy has more than double the chips of his next closest rival.
