Day 1 of Event #28: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em ended last night on the verge of the money bubble, and just seven of the 223 players returning for Day 2 will go home empty-handed. One of the players who won't have to worry about such a fate is Jason Duval, a Canadian player who emerged onto the live scene only a year ago but already has racked up over $300,000 in cashes.
Duval leads a diverse group of players at the top of the leaderboard. Among our top 15 stacks, one can find two Canadians (Duval and Chris Lastiwka, 103,800), a Lithuanian (Mantas Visockis, 135,600), a Dutchman (Tobias Peters, 115,000) and four Brits (Craig McCorkell - 117,800, Christopher Brammer - 100,500, Ash Mason - 96,600, Rupert Elder, 93,500). Also lurking among the top stacks is respected American pro Eric Baldwin (95,900).
