$1,650 Winter Poker Open Championship (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600/200 Ante

Players are back in their seats and Maroun Akiki continues to lead with 216,900 but we have new player joining him over 200K. Tom Nguyen is a familiar face this series and he moves into second spot courtesy of his 210,600 stack.

Nguyen has cashed three times this series including a fourth place finish in the $560 Deep Stack tournament.

Erik Christensen is also making moves, pushing his stack (that was endangered a few hours ago) up to 186,300 at the last break.

They’ll play three more levels before bagging up. Action should slow down for awhile with the average stack sitting right around 50 big blinds with 39 remaining.
