The players have just returned from their first break of the day, as new players continue to join the field. There are now over 5 million in chips in play and two hours left in the late registration period. There will be many more chips in play by the time late registration comes to a close at 4:30pm so there is a good chance that a new overall chip leader will emerge from this flight.

The current chips leader on Day 1C is Alan Hamza, who managed to more than triple his starting stack during the first four levels of play and now has over 230 big blinds at his disposal.

Here are the chip leaders at the first break.
