Chips on the Move

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Table 138 has been as active as any since the dinner break, with chips piling up and moving around the table.

At one point there were players at 500,000 (John Riordan), 400,000 (Julian Velador) and 300,000 (Frankie Muzzio) chips, before smaller stacks started nibbling on them.

Riordan fed Ernest Essad some 60,000 chips in a hand he folded on the river, looking at a huge bet from Essad on a board of 7J69A. Riordan remained the chip leader at the table, thanks to a large take off of Muzzio a few hands earlier.

With more than 300 players remaining, three of the top 10 in chips are on this table.
