After eclipsing the 1,000,000 chip mark on the very last hand of Day 2, Aleksandr Denisov will look to make it three days in a row at the top of the chip counts. After bagging the overwhelming chip lead on Day 1a, and holding it at the end of play last night Denisov is in pole position for a deep run here at Casino Sochi.

With the money bubble bursting 17 minutes from the end of play last night, players are returning today safe in the knowledge that they have locked up a min-cash worth ₽364,000 (~$5,600).

However, there are several players looking enviously at Denisov's stack including nearest rivals Mikhail Aleksandrov (942,000), Vadim Baranov (865,000) and Dmitry Yurasov (658,000).

Day 1b chip leader Viktor Ustimov (505,000) is still in the field, along with Anatoliy Zyrin (294,000), Matous Houzvicek (276,000), Dorian Pavon (180,000), Keisuke Hikosaka (155,000) and of course defending champion Arseniy Karmatskiy (108,000).

The schedule says to play five 90-minute levels, but that is subject to change. Stay tuned toPokerNews for continued live updates
