Alex Greenblatt has been sitting on a short-handed table for most of the morning but that doesn't mean chips aren't available for the taking. He has worked his way up to over 30,000 chips early on.
Mike Leah is also back this morning looking to avenge his collapse on Day 1a where he held the chip lead for most of the day but failed to make the money after losing a couple of crucial pots. He has also run his stack up to over 30,000 chips as he looks to enforce his aggressive game style.
