Day 1A Entries:  125

The third break is over and we can see the end of the day on the horizon. They have three hours, plus one last break, before we call it a night and survivors bag up their chips.

Nick Raio’s stack is bouncing around but always near the top, like it is now. He is up to 212,700 to lead the field while former big stack Carlos Bermudez dropped. It looks like some of his chips went to Shawn Cunix who moved up to 127,100.

Michael Cole sits in second with 179,800 with Gabe Fuller’s 149,800 doing very nicely for him.

We are quickly heading toward the third break with 121 entries in the game, well more than halfway to the $500,000 guarantee, and we still have a few more hours to add to that total.

We’ll take another quick walk among the empty tables to see if anyone caught up to Carlos Bermudez and Nick Raio.
