With players heading off to their first break of the day, here are some notable chip stack in the field:

Carel Snyman – 52 300

Lauren Piha – 62 300

Armandt Olivier – 37 300

Michael Clacher, our very own WSOP bracelet winner has informed me that he was close to getting above starting stack, but he is at a table full of sharks that keep picking off his bluffs. 

More hand updates will follow later
