A Chip Leader Emerges

Just after break Halysson Sala must have won a big pot because he is now a clear favorite to be the chip leader in the room, sporting the first stack over 100,000. Sala has several live event cashes with his biggest being for $17,470 during the 2012 Latin American Poker Tour in Chile where he finished in 7th place. We'll be keeping a close eye on Sala as the day goes on and we'll continue to update about his progress here on Day 1a.
