Among the players who have built stacks of 200,000 or more, Thibaut Garcia stands out with a massive 500,000.
“I won two very big pots, but I didn’t play any hands that went all-in preflop,” he told PokerNews. “Basically, I got called when I had value and they folded when I was bluffing,” he added.
He is currently the chip leader with just a few minutes remaining before the dinner break.
