Eric Afriat still has a dominating chip lead over the field in the Playground 1000. He has held the top stack in play by a healthy margin all day long and managed to further increase his lead during the last two levels. As the only player with a seven-figure stack, he has nearly double the chips of his nearest competitor.

There are still two levels to go today before the players bag chips for tomorrow’s Day 2, the second of three days of play in this event.
