The late registration period has now come to a close and the number of entries in tonight’s Day 1C reached 67 (including 6 re-entries), bringing the total from all starting flights to 166 entries. This represents some great value to the players who are playing for the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

With the average stack now sitting just under 75,000 chips, one player, Matthew Wade, a Playground dealer who has time off this weekend, has literally amassed a stack high enough to enter the stratosphere with 261,300 chips! That’s more than three times the average and good for 163 big blinds. The second place runner is Robert Renaud, a former Playground dealer, who has 167,800 chips (105 big blinds).

Here are the top stacks in play right now:
