A little over halfway through Level 1 now, and David Williams has edged out into an early lead, chipping up to 550,000. Joep Van Den Bijgaart took a couple of hits early to fall near the 300,000-chip mark, but has climbed back a bit, helped in part by a hand in which he turned quad kings against his fellow countryman, Marc Naalden.
