We still have a chance for a back-to-back champion in this event but Chris Bolek will have to grind his stack back into contention.

The 2014 champ began the day with 150,000 and dropped a third of that by the first break and soon found himself with only 12,000 remaining. Bolek found a more-than-double up when his QsTc flopped trip Queens and turned a boat.
