The final break of the night is over and players are freshly back in their seats set to log two more levels of action. John Grasso has emerged with a gigantic stack of over 420,000 chips. Not only does that put him in the lead in his respective flight, it puts him well ahead of Flight A Chris Thompson’s 240,000.

Grasso resides in Coral Springs and has a modest tournament resumes that includes four cashes and $25,804 in earnings. All signs point to him bagging the chip lead, but with nearly 60 minutes of action left in Flight B, anything can happen.
