The action has been wide open all afternoon on Day 1D, reducing the field to only 80 players after 11 levels of play.

Many of the remaining players are well ahead of the average stack, while the chip leader, Pengyu Yu, is sitting comfortably with a stack of more than triple the current chip average. The top 23 players from this flight will qualify for Day 2 so pace of play will likely slow down significantly as field approaches that number.
