Smoke 'em if you got 'em. We'll be back in 15 minutes for the last two levels of Day 1.

164 players have returned from the break. They'll play two more levels before bagging up the chips. We're looking at about 110 players who will return for Day 2.
This will be the last full round of chip counts for the day. After this we'll only be updating the biggest stacks in the room:

Andre Akkari is building up a chip stack in the late stages of Day 1. He's getting lucky when he needs to and otherwise playing aggressively and playing position well. Akkari had the button for a raised ace-high flop, 
. His lone opponent bet 6,000 into the 8,000-chip pot. He called, leading to the 
turn. Both players checked. When the under-the-gun player also checked the 
river, Akkari put out a bet of 10,000. That bet folded his opponent and won Akkari another pot.
Several stacks are north of 100,000 now, including Juan Rodriguez, who doubled through former chip leader Pablo Freschi in a battle of Big Slick versus Big Slick (cue the flush for Rodriguez) and Nico Fierro. But right now none are taller than that of Lisandro Gallo, who is sitting behind 150,000 in chips -- a pretty comfortable stack at 500/1,000/100. We're not sure how Gallo acquired those chips but we'll be keeping an eye on him through the last level of the night.
Level: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 200
We're not sure exactly what happened on Table 2, but it seems that Daniel Ospina is running over the table. Shirley Rosario's stack? Down to 42,000. Daniela Zapiello's stack? Down to 37,000. Jorge Fajerlo's stack? Downto 83,000. Humberto Brenes' stack? Down to 55,000.
Ospina is the only one who seems to be trending upwards -- and in a big way. He has a tournament-leading 196,000 in chips. Ospina is a native Colombian who grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, USA but now lives in Colombia. While he is doesn't have much of a live track record -- just five lifetime cashes -- Ospina is well-known online. Last year he cleared a six-figure profit playing online MTTs.
With only 45 minutes to go in the day, Ospina will certainly be vying for the overnight chip lead.
Two levels ago, our new favorite-named player Pablo Freschi was leading the field with 120,000 chips. With 25 minutes left to go in the night he's out of the tournament. After losing with 
to , it was all downhill for Freschi. He seemed to lose every pot and couldn't stop the slide to busto.
