Championship players are back in their seat after a brief respite from the grind. We found the five biggest stacks in the room and the each sit with over 100,000.

Pablo Fernandez leads them all, coming back to 140,900 out front with Harold Klein sitting in second. There’s still plenty of time to catch them and a lead now is not indicator of future Championship success.

Pablo Fernandez – 140,900 (470 bb)
Harold Klein – 116,425 (388 bb)
Brandon Hall – 111,100 (370 bb)
Alex Smith – 104,775 (349 bb)
Jonathan Kamhazi – 100,800 (336 bb)
