While players were away from the tables during the second break, we found one big stack standing out among the rest. Even after the purple chip color up, Lucas Sadowski still had a castle in front.

He leads the field after registration closed, the biggest stack in the room with 466,000 going deep into the flight.

After a long, drawn out money bubble with 12 players remaining, several hanging out tough with shorter stacks, they finally dropped a players out and the 11 remaining players bagged their chips.

Robert Fiore was the chip leader for much of the later parts of the day and bagged 1,310,000. But Tam Nguyen, the bubble burster, nipped him at the end and bagged the early Monster Stack lead with 1,320,000.

Full chip counts will be posted as soon as they are available.
