With the second break behind us, it is now time to bring you the first leaderboard of this Event. As you can expect from a one-day turbo Event, action was fast. Almost 70 players hit the rail in the first 3 hours of the tournament. It is Howard Kotchie (featured on the right) who took advantage the most. He is sitting on a very cool 133K, having collected a full row of 5K chips. As previously stated, things move fast in this type of tournament, including the leaderboard, but here is our current top 10, followed by a gallery of photos taken during levels 8 and 9:
