In most cases, immediately following a break we publish a comprehensive leaderboard of the top 5, 10, or more players. During the last break, however, we found that there is a glut of players with stacks in the 65K-75K range – but few to no front-runners who have built up anything resembling a dominant stack. At this point, the chip leader overall is Michel Lacasse, who is playing just over 89,000 in chips, and Stefano Gallo is right behind with about 84,000.
As level 5 begins, registration today has bumped up to 299 entries, which easily surpasses the guarantee and means that every additional buy-in serves to grow the prize pool… with another 2 levels plus the dinner break to register, today’s attendance is sure to pass 300 on the day.
Among the recent arrivals is Michael Mizrachi, who is taking a second shot in the event today.
