Race for the Chip Lead

As we dive headfirst into our penultimate level of the day, a few players are starting to stretch away from the chasing pack and build a formidable stack.

Michael Keiner in particular has shot out of the blocks, the former bracelet winner currently boasting a 60,000-plus stack. Meanwhile, Jesper Hougaard and Jonathan Dwek aren't too far behind with 58,000 and 50,000 respectively, neither is PokerStars pro Andre Akkari on 49,500. Also worth keeping an eye on are Michael Murra with 47,000, Spaniard Daniel Mangas on 41,000 and, of course, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi with 40,000. But at this stage you just can't count anybody out. Well, except the guys who are actually out.
