Play has been halted for a short 15-minute break here in the Tournament Hall. The sight in the tent is quite impressive, since almost all of the tables are in use. The buffet is a sure-fire hit with the players and the lovely Playground waiting staff is on hand for table-side service.
It was quite a challenge to survey all 34 open tables to find chip leaders but we spotted a few worth mentioning.
“Wow” is just about the only word we could find, to describe Julio Cacoilo’s stack right now. With 106,300 chips in front of him, he was more than happy to strike a pose for us. With the blinds at 200/400 and the average hovering at 26K Julio’s stack is quite impressive.
Here are a few more stacks that caught our eye this early in the flight. The tournament board show 448 entries (including 70 re-entries) and the players are still coming in. Late registration (or re-entry) is open for another 2 hours.
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Julio | Cacoilo | 106,300 |
| Nancy | Query | 91,675 |
| Daniel | Oren | 86,775 |
| Chen | Turjeman | 82,200 |
