With the arrival of the 3rd and last break of the evening, we were able to survey the field and update the leaderboard.

There are 47 players remaining and 1,222,000 chips on the felts. That averages out to approximately 2,600,000 chips. Only players with five million chips and more have been tallied.

With no surprise to anyone, Jonathon Mclean is the clear chip leader with a whopping 8,365,000 stack in front of him. He is also one of the only owners of the 500K chips that the tournament personnel have put into play during the break. More than two million chips behind Mclean, we can find Armin Rezaei, with 6,265,000, making his first appearance on tonight’s leaderboard.

Ernest Chevrette is still going strong with 5,900,000, followed very closely by Xavier Goupil-Lapointe who has 5,875,000 chips. So it’s a pretty close race between second and fourth place right now.

There are 4 more levels to go (two hours) and it will be interesting to see how much more the field will be thinned out.
