As the first break ends on Day 1A of Event #1, 173 players have entered the field, but only 150 remain in the running.
As players left the room during the break, we had our chance to survey the room. While there is still a lot of poker left to be played, two players have emerged with more than twice their starting stack in chips. Alexandre Ruest leads the way with 51,500 and Patrick Gatfalvi is currently sitting on 43,100.
