The Dutch pro takes 319,000 into the event’s penultimate day, but right behind him are some of the biggest names in the game. They include Daniel Negreanu and Chad Eveslage, both with 311,000 and tied for second place. Alex Foxen (299,000) and Paul Volpe (290,500), meanwhile, round out the top five.

Levels remain 60 minutes, with a break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break following Level 15. Levels will then be extended to 90 minutes for the start of Level 16. The schedule calls for eight levels to be played today or down to the final five players.
