Nicholas Gerrity Leads the Pack on Day 4 of Event #39: $1,500 Monster Stack

Nicholas Gerrity seized Day 4 of Event #39: $1,500 Monster Stack and has the chip lead after bagging 112,300,000 chips. Gerrity leads the final seven remaining players who will return for an unscheduled added day on Wednesday at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Gerrity began building his stack when the players reached the final two tables, scoring knockouts of Marcos Exterkotter, who finished in 18th place, Steven Snyder, who finished in 17th place, and Xuming Qi, who began the day as the chip leader before finishing in 11th place.

While Gerrity has the current chip lead, danger lurks around the corner.

He must contend with WSOP bracelet winner Jesse Rockowitz, who is surging and bagged the second-most chips with 94,500,000. Joe Cada, the 2009 Main Event champion, is also still alive despite absorbing a blow to his chip stack on the last hand of the night.
