Sternheimer Early Chip Leader in Main Event

Less than a week after finishing runner-up to Alex Boika in Event #5: $25,000 NLHE 8-Handed, Philp Sternheimer is back in action at Triton Jeju.

With the $100,000 Main Event getting underway today, Sternheimer is an early chip leader after taking a small but significant pot from Phil Ivey.

The Main Event is scheduled to crown its champion on Wednesday. A long way to go yet, but a step in the right direction for Sternheimer.
