Level 12: 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante
Day 1A Entries: 185

It’s rare to see the same player lead at every break of an opening flight, but here we are. Emil Soffer hit the chips hard at the start and his 440,000 after Level 11 kept him way in the lead.

Raul Hernandez, Gil Ben-Simon, Richard Leger, and Fred Dabus make up the rest of the top five, and the field is trying to chase down the leader.
