The players are away from the tables on their dinner break, and most of the players are refueling for the rest of the session at the hot and cold buffet provided for all Main Event players. While they were away from the tables, we took the opportunity to put together an extended list of chip leaders, covering everyone we could find that was playing a stack of 150,000 tournament chips or more.
Steven Martin continues to be the chip leader, having amassed an impressive stack of over 300K so far. Local players Kevin Rivest and Eric Leblond are hot on his heels, however, playing stacks of 262,800 and 234,600, respectively. The other thing to note is that two of the Colossus final table players, Danny Freitas and Trevor Delaney, are both on this list.
There are 4 levels left to play tonight, and following level 10, everyone who still has chips will bag them up to return to play on Day 2, which will be held on Saturday September 1st at 12:00PM. At this point in the flight, there are 189 players remaining of a total of 293 entries so far. Registration continues throughout today’s starting flight, so that number is expected to go up at least a little bit before the end of the day.
