After 8 levels of play, the players went on break and we went looking for chips. This time around, only players with 100,000+ chips would make the cut.

Mohammadamin Khalilian leads the pack with a respectable 163,400 stack in front of him. A familiar face at Playground, “Amin” he was only too happy to pose for the camera after the break, knowing full well it means he is the current chip leader. Three other players have managed to pass the 100K mark: Kiril Martinov Gelev, Frederick Gougeon, and Jonathan Poissant.

There are 4,325,000 in chips and the average keeps rising and rising, as the bust outs occur at a steady pace.
