Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

There was a raise to 5,300 by a player in early position, Palma three-bet the cutoff to 13,000 and the player in the big blind four-bet all in for 110,000.

Mao The Leader?

MrPaulSeaton

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Sam Mao has been chipping up in the build up to the bubble, which is fast approaching. We counted his stack and found he's just below the half-million mark, making him the likely chip leader in the room. There are just 380 players left, with 359 being paid. Mao is almost guaranteed to be one of them.

Elsewhere, former hockey Olympic gold medal winner and Team PokerStars Pro Fatima De Melo has 165,000 at her table. She's joined on a decent stack by fellow Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier who sits behind 160,000.

Pratyush Buddiga, who won the €25,000 single-day High Roller tournament at 3am last night is still thriving in Main Event terms, with a stack of 130,000. And one of the biggest stacks in the room belongs to Andreas Hoivold, who has 308,000 on what is definitely the richest table in the room when it comes to chip stacks.
