    Leaderboard going into level 9

    • We are back from the last break of the day, and Day 1c will be finished upon the completion of 2 more 1-hour levels. We’ve seen a lot of movement in chips in these last 2 levels, and and few players have sprung up way above the average. Given the amount of entries in this flight versus the two previous ones, we are expecting to see a lot more players finish the day with stacks upwards of 200K, although no one has reached that plateau yet. Here is an approximation of the top ten stacks we’ve come across:

    1. Marcello Delgrasso – 180K
    2. Francis Binette – 164K
    3. Levon Dedeyan – 148K
    4. Sebastien Girard – 137K
    5. Johnny A Benehoutsos – 135K
    6. Joeygajan Ravinthan – 132K
    7. Eric Afriat – 117K
    8. Medhat Ramzy – 103K
    9. Alex Cordero – 103K
    10. Riyaz Abdulla – 100K
