Kapoor Amongst the Big Stacks

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Akshay Kapoor
Akshay Kapoor

There are 158 players in contention, with one of the biggest stacks belonging to Akshay Kapoor, who is sitting on 216,000 and was kind enough to tell PokerNews how he amassed such a sizable stack.

Kapoor was responsible for showing $5 Challenge champion Shivan Abdine the door back on the 400/800 level after the two clashed in a hand on an ace-king-jack double club flop, which is when Abdine got the last of his chips in with {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Kapoor had {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and hit running aces on to make the boat and bring Abdine's tourney to a close.

The first hand back after the break saw Kapoor rail another opponent in a multi-way pot, spiking top set with aces on a {a-}{q-}{6-} flop vs. two players in the blinds. While the small blind was able to escape on the turn in the hand, the big blind, holding {q-}{6-} two pair was not so fortunate and that pot shot Kapoor to the top of the counts.

Other notables with chips are as follows:
