    Lawrence Whyte came out of nowhere not long before the break, scooping the comfortable driver’s seat. He is rounding with David Guay, a strong local that finished 22nd at the 2017 WSOP and Mukul Pahuja, top tournament player with over $5M in live earnings.

    These two may be very capable, but they currently have their hands full with a stack that size to deal with.

    Someone we know has been with us for quite some time now. Can you guess who it is without looking at the caption?

    Scott Blumstein

    If you said: ”That is undeniably the reigning world champion!”, then you were right! Scott Blumstein himself, the current holder of the mother of all crowns, is currently nursing a 2-million stack.

    We are almost at the last break of the day, which will allow us to update the leaderboard.

    Michael Blackmore flopped the nut straight. His King of Hearts Jack of Clubs looked pretty good on the Queen of Clubs 10 of Spades Ace of Diamonds flop, but one thing we know about straights, it’s that they can’t improve!

    Jeffrey Cormier’s second best Queen of Clubs 10 of Spades, however, only needed one of four outs to pass Blackmore. Sure enough, the 10 of Hearts fell on the turn, and both players ended up fully invested.

    Cormier, on his second bullet today, managed to build a bit of a stack that way.

    Esfandiari works his magic

    As we are getting closer to the third and last break of the day, we see some stacks growing. Antonio Esfandiari got involved in a big hand and scooped up his opponent’s entire stack. We didn’t get to the table on time to see all the action happen but we were able to see the showdown. William Givens was all-in with King of Diamonds Queen of Diamonds and Esfandiari made the call with Queen of Hearts 8 of Hearts. The eight on the board was enough to award him the pot.

    In a growing field of players, on a far table, Helio Bandeira Neves Neto built a pot with Jeremie Pierre Sarda to about 700K on the flop. On the turn, Bandeira bet 280K, and Sarda, sitting on the button, made the call. Bandeira went all-in for a little over 500K on the river, sending Sarda to the tank. He thought for quite some time, and abandoned the 1.3M.

    We are now entering level 6, and many more players have surpassed the 3-million-chip threshold. With so many players in the field – we just registered our 400th entry – it is not surprising to see some big stacks bumping into each other.
