We’re into Level 14 and there are 108 players remaining from the current 302 entries – with some big stacks building round the room, tension building as the day approaches completion.
Perhaps the biggest is Dutch player Jorrit Baars with 290,000 as we stand – bolstered as he eliminated another player with pocket queens as we approached. He’s sharing a table with a player familiar on the Irish scene Dave Masters, who also has a healthy stack of 140,000.
Table two has its fair share of chips with Paul Coyne the current table captain – his 210,000 putting him well clear of fellow big stack Thibault Saillard, who has 140,000.
