Norway's Stian Knutsen appears to be the chip leader with the first break approaching with a massive stack of 650,000 in chips. We have seen him win many small pots but nothing big.

He stood up for a second so we asked him if there was anything big that we may have missed and he confirmed our suspicions that he has just been actively winning tons of small pots during the opening portion of Day 2.
