Big Stacks Emerge

Over the last couple of levels, a number of big stacks have emerged, many of which have come from nowhere to threaten the chip leaders. For example, Hafiz Khan is suddenly a contender with 133,000, as is Maz Nawab on 168,000. Also San Remo champion Jason Mercier is looking good on 135,000, not to mention young Swedish hotshot Ramzi Jelassi who has 168,000 and Jonas Klausen on 208,000. However, it's a German who leads the way, Sebastian Ruthenberg top of the pile with a monstrous 230,000.
