Matt Matros has just been found amongst room and it looks like we've found a chip leader in him as well. From what we counted he has nearly 50,000 chips already which would represent just about 250 big blind. We'll be sure to keep tabs on him now that we know exactly where he's sitting.

While Everett Carlton may not be one of the widest regarded names in the poker community, he is a player who has over $800,000 in lifetime cashes. He's also a player who returned from break with chips to play with here on Day 1 over Event #42: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Carlton's name may be familiar as he recently finished third place in Event #17: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, the event which Athanasios Polychronopoulos won his second bracelet in. Carlton looks to add to his already impressive number of cashes with another good run here today.
While not equipped with the biggest stack in the room, Carlton has a decent amount of chips and even more after we caught him in a recent hand.
