In pretty much the exact opposite scenario of yesterday, it took the field almost 18 levels to play down to the final 11% (it took 13 levels yesterday). When the dust finally and mercifully settled it was Paul James Hizer who held the chip lead with a stack worth 737,000. The other top stacks were bagged up by Deva Hetrick (539,000), and Tamas Lendvai (430,000). Here is a look at the full official chip counts for the Flight B survivors.
