After 8 levels of actions, players in Day 1a of the Main Event have earned a 45-minute dinner break, and are scattered across the tournament hall chatting away about nothing and everything.
Alexandre Rochette certainly has a few stories to tell, as he managed to build his 30,000 starting stack into a cool 157,000, good enough for the current chip lead. 4 other players have managed to break the 6-figure cap as well, although Alexandre holds a healthy lead on the rest of the field.
