Checking in on the Big Stacks

Will Shillibier

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We decided it was high time to check in on how the big stacks from the start of the day are doing. Laurent Decauwert is up over a million chips, just like Davidi Kitai. Meanwhile, Sonny Franco and Victor Michaud are holding steady.

The likes of Liam O'Donoghue and Romani Carlot are down on their start of day chip counts, but are still sitting on solid stacks as we approach the money bubble
