Less than 200 players remain on Day 1G. Vasilios Gerontakos is our current chip leader, who is sitting comfortably with a stack of more than triple the current average. Many players are keeping their heads safely above water with stacks of more than double the chip average, but everything can change quickly in tournament poker so there players will have to stay sharp if they hope to bag chips at the end of the flight.

The end of the flight, which also serves as the money bubble, has come into view now that the field is down under 200 players. The top 103 finishers will advance to tomorrow’s Day 2 so the tension will only mount from here.
