After eight levels of play we have a new chip leader, Tu Kham Tran. Holding almost quadruple the chip average of 82,000, Tu has a comfortable lead, far outpacing his rivals for the moment. Can he stay up top in the final stretch? We’ll see!

Also, registration is now officially closed. Day 1C ended up having a total of 106 entries, including 21 re-entries. Of that number, only 61 currently remain at their seats. Good luck to all our participants as they make their push to the end of level 14, and a birth in tomorrow’s Day 2 action, starting at noon.
