The players in the Main Event just took their first break since the tournament turned into a freezeout – when late registration closed at the beginning of level 13. During the most recent break following level 14, we surveyed all 60+ tables to try and find all of the players that are playing over 500K stacks at the current time.
The chip leader so far is Alexandru Baron with 800,000 in chips, followed closely by Alon Messica, Eric Afriat, and Noeung Troeung – and every single one of these players is extremely dangerous (to the rest of the field) if he has a stack.
A few other highlights on the leaderboard – Jaered Besse is a recent event champion here at Playground Poker Club, having won a tournament somewhat similar to this one this past winter. Also – there’s Mike Sexton in the 500K and up club as well…
