Where as we often see a few monster stacks by the 2nd break, the tournament has been playing at a steady pace and only 2 players have been able to exceed the 100k mark, with Ben Menache taking the reigns as the new chip leader, sitting on a cool 143,500 chipstack, almost 3x the average. His next closet rival is Pauline Briand (101,500), who is the only other player north of 100k.

As play continues, we will keep monitoring the action and the stacks and are sure to see some changes each level passes.
