It looks at first sweep (there are still multiple hundreds of players in the tournament area) that Samuel Chartier has stolen the chip lead, with 105,000+. Always well-stacked, it appears that he’s one of the first to break the six figure barrier and, provided he can keep the chips for the last level and a half, will be in good stead for Day 2 tomorrow.
