Paverelli Leads the Way as Big Stacks Begin to Build
With play now midway through Level 6 of Day 1e in the $600 Deep Stack Kick Off ($1,000,000 Guaranteed), the tournament's big stacks are beginning to emerge.
At the top of the counts is Gregory Paverelli, who appears to be leading the field with around 240,000 chips.
Hot on his heels are Rafael Polanco, sitting on approximately 215,000, and Yaohua Bao, who has built his stack to around 212,000.
A handful of other players have also separated themselves from the pack. Eugene Naumovsky has climbed to roughly 150,000, while Thorsten Schlutter (145,000) and Frank Lupi (122,000) are also among the bigger stacks.
With late registration remaining open until the start of Level 13, there's still plenty of time for the leaderboard to change before the race to the money and the Day 2 bags begins.
