In the early flurry of activity, a few of the already-strong stacks have managed to chip up and join Serge Pouliot (who remains one of the big stacks) up over 350K in tournament chips. Some of the players who have made strong gains so far include Eric Afriat (400K), Amir Babakhani (350K), Frederic Pierre (360K), and Andrew Knowles (355K).
