There is no question who is in the lead right now; where as the average chip stack is 80,000, one player has a huge lead on the entire field. Karim-Olivier Kamal is not only playing the only stack over 200,000, he is the only one who is over 300,000, sitting on 315,000 in chips. There are three other stacks that are just around 125,000, and many stacks that are between 75,000 – 100,000.
