Play has just resumed in level 13, and Day 1C has a new chip leader. Longtime chip leader Jean-Francois Levesque was eliminated on the last hand before the break by this flight’s new chip leader, Aladdin Hammoud.
Hammoud catapulted to the top of the leaderboard after taking down a massive three-way pot. He was fortunate enough to flop top set against another player’s bottom set and Levesque’s over pair. All the chips went in on the flop, and Hammoud’s set of eights held up to give him an overwhelming chip lead. With more than 200 big blinds in his possession, Hammoud is in great position to cruise into Day 2.
Here are the top stacks in play:
