The end of the first stint in a Day 1 is a little early to worry too much about the chip leaderboard – but you can still identify the early front-runners who will likely set the pace for others on their tables and throughout the flight.
In this case there are a couple of players with stacks over 100K: Trevor Proch (106,000 chips) and Endrit Geci (101,500) – and a few more, including Jamie Sequira and David Dusome that are hovering very close to that milestone. With the average stack still just over 33K, players with chips in this range have a good chance to leverage that to a strong stack for Day 2.
There’s a long way to go, however – by the end of the night, anyone still in the field could find themselves on top
