Championship Day 1C: Nicholas Chong Leads

$1,700 SPS Championship (Re-Entry)
$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 7:  500/1,000 with a 1,000 ante
Day 1C Entries:  309

Nicholas Chong

The second break ended, and we found a new leader in the crowd. After sending two players out with a bigger straight versus a smaller straight versus a set, Nicholas Chong is stacked up huge with 325,400. For reference, that would be good enough for the sixth overall stack going into Day 2, and he has seven more flights to build it.

Wagner Wysotchanski continued to hold a spot near the top and improved to 228,500 to hold second.

Flight C will play three more levels, take a break, and registration closes for the Championship when they return at 5:45 pm.
