Jay Catcher

Players are finishing up the first half of the day, as the end of Level 9 is the extended (75) minute dinner break.  Surprisingly, there aren't a plethora of big stacks out there, which usually happens with a field this size.  The leader at the moment is Jay Catcher, a relative unknown in the tournament community, sitting with over 245,000.  Here are some other counts taken during the level's transition:
