Break Number One: Roothlus Boosted Into the Lead
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2010 Main Event champion is sitting somewhere in the Amazon Room, of this we are certain. The final few tables in the massive Pavilion Room have broken, and the banners of world champions now surround all of the remaining 1,000 players.
Soon, there will be a new banner with one of their faces.
Adam "Roothlus" Levy has emerged as our chip leader with 835,000 to his name. James Carroll is still amongst the leaders with 675,000 chips while both Johnny Lodden and Gerasimos Deres are in the nose-bleeds as well with 750,000 chips and 733,700 chips respectively.
Barry Shulman, Dewey Tomko, Kathy Liebert, Blair Rodman and Matt Graham have all exited the 2010 Main Event while Christian Harder, Scotty Nguyen, Hoyt Corkins and Jean-Robert Bellande all found double-ups to extend their tournament lives.
With two hours of play behind us, we are now on a 20-minute break. When we return, we will play the last hour of Level 14, play one hour of Level 15 and then take another break. From there, the schedule is up in the air. If the money bubble is broken thereafter, it might be a short day at the Rio. But if the money bubble isn’t reached until later, we will play more than four levels.
You can have a snack, go for a smoke or run to the bathroom (good luck with the line), but you better make sure you get back and strap in. With the bubble on the horizon, things are about to get wild in the 2010 Main Event!
