The first break of a Day 1 is very early to start looking at the leaders in a tournament, but having an early lead is instrumental in providing a player with the opportunity to build up a deep stack to take to Day 2 – and maybe make a deep run. Everything can hinge on the chips earned early in a tournament!
So far on Day 1C the leaders are Line St-Pierre, who is already playing a stack of 92,500 chips, and Martin Demondehare who has amassed around 73,000 so far. There are several players as well in the 50,000 to 65,000 range – more than enough to play with at this stage in the event!
Play now continues in level 5, and registration will remain open for just over 45 more minutes.
