The boards are showing 100 entries, including 5 re-entries and the players just came back from a short break.

Let’s talk about numbers: 100 entries, two hours of play, 100,000,000 chips in play, unlimited re-entries and still two hours left for late registration! The action is showing no signs of slowing down, as the unusually high number of chips in play is giving players a lot to think about, while they adjust their individual styles to adapt.

Right now Michael Korovine, a Playground Poker regular, is in the lead with a decent 3,351,000 stack, just about three times the average. In a tournament this size, it’s a pretty decent mountain of chips. Only one other player is above 3 million chips and that is John Grumbley, sitting on 3,107,000 chips. Four more players round off the first leaderboard of the evening, where the minimum requirement was set at 1,750,000 chips.
