Day: 1
Jason Koon is now leading WPT #12 Super High Roller. The field is up to 16 players now, with $400,000 collected so far, and Koon has 141,930 chips to lead the field. Pascal Lefrancois sits just behind in second with 133,515.
They are still some ways from the $300,000 guarantee in WPT Grand, but they've already collected more than $180,000 towards it, with more than 1.5 hours to go in entry. Dan Moran is still in the lead, and he's chipped up significantly to almost 4.4 million. That's about 1 million more than second place Ramiro Petrone.
Jamie Nixon briefly lost the lead in WPT Super $215, but he's regained it again, and picked up a bounty in the process. Nixon now has almost 464,000 chips plus $50 in his pocket.
There aren't a lot of unexpected faces in the list for WPT #12 Super High Roller. Mikita Badziakouski just jumped in late, along with other late entries to bring the field to 14 now.
