Simon rockets to the top

Antoine Simon has rocketed to the top of the leaderboard half way through level 12, having accumulated just a shade under 200,000 in chips! The previous chip leaders (Edmond, Andrew, Tina) are all still doing well today, but Antoine has taken a 55K lead on the rest of the field. That being said, these last 2-3 levels of the day are poker’s equivalent of “moving day” and dreams can be realized – and dashed – in the big pots at the end of a Day 1.
