The players have just returned to their seats following the last break in this flight. The field is down to 145 runners from the 272 entries gathered so far. The stacks are still very deep, as the player-friendly structure of the Main Event assures players lots of room to maneuver throughout each starting flight. The current chip average provides nearly 94 big blinds.

The leaderboard has been shaken up since the last update. It is now a two-horse race for the chip lead. Jake Labonte controls the largest stack in play while Armand King, better known to many as the “Oyster King,” is only a few blinds behind.
