Some of the early conversations today were about how one player had a 2-to-1 chiplead on the entire field. Brian Schaedlich begins play with 801,000, which is not a 2-1 lead since the counts are all in from yesterday, he did hold a 2-to-1 lead on the Day 2A field. I thought it might be interesting to track our top ten for the entire day. I will try to catch them three times during the day to see just how much a chip lead means on Day Three of the WSOP Main Event.
Here are the top ten starting stacks at noon with 1,307 players remaining:
Brian Schaedlich 801,000
Peter Biebel 531,000
Alex Outhred 486,800
Raja Kattamuri 411,100
Hunter Frey 397,000
Jeremiah Smith 386,000
Steven Goosen 362,100
Patrick Fortin 355,900
Reagan Silber 355,500
Kellen Hunter 354,100
At 5 PM, two levels in, the original top ten now with 852 players still in the field:
Brian Schaedlich 398,000 (801,000 starting stack) down by half
Peter Biebel 290,000 (531,000) down
Alex Outhred 465,000 (486,800) slightly down
Raja Kattamuri 450,000 (411,100) up
Hunter Frey 295,000 (397,000) down
Jeremiah Smith 601,500 (386,000) way up
Steven Goosen 240,000 (362,100) down
Patrick Fortin 520,000 (355,900) way up
Reagan Silber 332,000 (355,500) slightly down
Kellen Hunter 385,000 (354,100) slightly up
Three levels gone, we are at the dinner break with 733 players still at the tables; only one of our top ten remains in the top ten of current chip leaders. Let's see where our top ten from three levels ago are now:
Brian Schaedlich 282,000 (down 519K on the day)
