The tournament is now down to just less than half the field with 177 players still in the running. The average stack is in the vicinity of 55,000, but one player has been on fire tonight and is now sitting on almost five times the average: Joseph Abou Khalil, with an incredible 245,000 in chips. No other player is even close; the second place spot is tied between Grant Ellis and Maxime Theroux, both who have 107,000.
