Players are back from their second (and final) break of the day and while they were away from the tables we took the opportunity to get some up-to-date counts.
With a current chip average of just a hair over 38K, three players have built up truly formidable stacks. Steve Pouliot continues to lead the way – he has built up to just a little over 275K since the last break. Behind him are two players with over 150K each: Brandon Aaron Kitchen (157K) and Stephen Klimasko (150K). A bit further away from the lead are players like Pierre-Paul Gervais and Andrey Vainer who are hovering around the 80K mark.
With a little fewer than 5 levels left it’s clear that anything could happen and some other players are certain to build their own dominant stacks before the end of Day 1a.
