Play is set to resume following the first break in the action on Day 1B of the Strangers in the Night.

The action got off to fast start this afternoon, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The rapid growth in the size of the field shortly before the break was driven by seven re-entries and a steady stream of of new joiners. There are now nearly 2 million in chips in play so there are sure to be some big stacks advancing from this flight.

The current chip leader, Alexander Bain, was able to build up a stack of more than triple the current chip average, putting him in great shape at this early stage, but there is still lots of poker left to play before he can bag those chips for Day 2.
