Chip Leader Fitzpatrick Drags a Pot After Extended Break

Jason Fitzpatrick was just seen dragging a pot, which was his first since the day's first 15-minute break. The chip leader so far was actually gone for all of Level 5, but it wasn't by his choice.

Fitzpatrick told PokerNews that he left the Champions Club on break to take his friend to grab a drink off the property, and a combination of brutal traffic in the area and a distant parking spot upon his return led to his late return to the table.

With the chip lead by a significant margin, Fitzpatrick's stack barely noticed his absence as he's still well in front of the field midway through Level 6.
