The third break of the day ended, likely the last one as well, with 64 players remaining and a huge chip leader. Santo Biddix returned to sit behind a stack worth 525,000 and way way out front of the rest.

If the flight ended right now, he’d be the fourth biggest stack but now he has a chance to spin it up to the top.
