Armando Figueroa
The first break ended, players returned to their seats, and everyone is chasing runaway chip leader Armando Figueroa. He is sitting with an incredible 213,600 after three levels and, to top it off, Figueroa is trying to use the best-stack-forward option.
Figueroa already has a Day 2 bag from Flight A worth 241,000 so he’s going big or at least trying for a min-cash with a double bag.
