Monster Stacks May Collide
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Alex Massman started the day with the chip lead with 133,100, and from our estimation, he is still sitting on about that much. Meanwhile, table mate Susie Zhao started the day with 94,400, but her stack has seen a big rise, as she has rocketed to the top of the leaderboard with 160,000. These are two of the biggest stacks, so we might see some fireworks soon.
