Play has begun in level 12 and the players have just returned from their 3rd and final break of the day. Play will continue through level 14, which means there are just 3 levels to go before the remaining players at that time will be asked to count and bag their chips to return on Day 2.
The leaders at this stage in the tournament are all playing more than 100K in tournament chips, but with the average already over 65K, it’s fair to say that no player has built up a really overwhelming stack at this point. That being said, the final 3 levels are when a lot of the super-stacks in an event like this are really built – so there’s a ton of potential for some players to build up huge stacks on this first of 6 starting flights in the event.
