The players have just returned from their second break of the day, and there are now 170 players remaining in the MILLIONS Open. The tournament has transitioned to 8-handed play, and the players are taking advantage of the extra room at the tables to accommodate their ever-growing stacks.
The gap between the rich and the poor has increased significantly with the chip leader, Sebastien Drolet-Poitras, playing over 110 big blinds, while many players find themselves clinging to less than 10 big blinds. The chip average still provides around 35 big blinds, but expect the players to use them cautiously as the money bubble approaches.
Here are the top five stacks in play:
| First Name | Last Name | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|
| Sebastien | Drolet-Poitras | 22,875,000 |
| Griffin | Benger | 18,650,000 |
| Ryan | Yu | 18,000,000 |
| Stefane | Parise | 17,600,000 |
| Karim-Olivier | Kamal | 16,200,000 |
