Throughout the day the usual names have been on top of the leaderboard, and although Eli Elezra currently occupies the top spot, there are a couple of unknowns that are mounting a charge.
Sitting in second is Christopher Sensoli who final tabled Event #33 in 2014 and currently sits with a little over 60,000 in chips.
Michael Schiffman sits on the table adjacent to Sensoli and has currently amassed a 54,900-chip stack while Vitezslav Pesta sits with a little under 50,000.
With over an hour to play, anything could and will most likely happen to shape the leaderboard in a different direction.
