James Wong

The second break is complete, the 1K chips have come out of play, and the 100K chips were introduced. James Wong leads the way with 1,795,000 followed by Emmanuel Santos (1,075,000), Juan Carlos Ramirez (1,035,000) and Dave Edwards (1,015,000).

In a shocking turn of events, former one-million stack George Imes was gone shortly after he build his stack. As his table told it, he put 700K in the middle with an open-ended straight draw against Wong’s kings and did not get there.

Hence, Wong the chip leader.

Blinds are up to 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 ante and the average stack is 530,000 (53 bb). They will play two more levels before taking a 40-minute dinner break.
