Players have just returned from their second break, during which we were able to confirm that Michel Lemieux had retained his chip lead (and added significantly more chips to his stack as well). At the same time, though, there are now a few players within striking distance of the current leader, including very experienced players like Pablo Mariz and Eric Benhamron.
There are another 6 levels to be played tonight, and through 8 levels there are just 115 players vying for their spot in Day 2. Registration has now closed in the tournament as well, so final numbers for today and the entire field plus the prize pool will be available shortly.
