Eddleman Hits a Rush
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
During that last break, Mark Eddleman stopped by our media desk to let us know that he went on quite the run in the final 15-20 minutes of Level 12. At last count, Eddleman had around 180,000 in chips, but he's now up to about 350,000 or so. That's good for the current chip lead, but there's still plenty of poker to be played here on Day 1b.
Maury Solano was Day 1a's chip leader with 511,500, and we'll see if Eddleman can catch him as the night comes to a close.
