Because the average chip stack is 778,245 chips, we were on the lookout for stacks at or above 1,500,000 to include in our list of chip leaders. Only six players can claim that accomplishment at this stage of the game, the richest of whom is Jack Salter.

With an impressive 2,270,000 chips, Jack is now the chip leader of this group of 57 players still vying for the main prize in the WPT Main Event. Today’s plan is to play down to a final nine, and based on the pace of play so far, we will almost certainly reach it.

Players have now returned from their break and will continue their journey to the final table. Keep it up!
