6.  Brian Scott  –  1,985,000  (66 bb)

With 117 players remaining from a field of 4,017, the average chip stack is around 860,000 (29 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,240 each.

There will be a 45-minute dinner break after Level 25, around 8:35 pm. Action will continue tonight until about 2:00 am, and the survivors will return tomorrow at 1:00 pm to play to a winner.
