Jorge Postigo is Miles Ahead; Leo Fernandez is the Short Stack

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

Jorge Postigo has yet to relinquish the chip lead and continues to pull further away from the field. Rodrigo Borquez as once second in chips, but now sits towards the bottom of the pack. Gonzalez finds himself chasing the lead, sitting in second.

Alex Manzano looks to add another High Roller title to his resume and is sitting comfortably in the middle of the leaderboard.

Here is a look at the current chip counts:
