Level 5: 200/400 with a 400 ante
Flight A Entries: 314

The first break is complete, the entry count climbed over 300, and we have a new chip leader.

SHRP regular Michael Tait took his 20,000 starting stack and pushed it up to 80,300 in the first two hours of the day. That is good enough for the early lead with former November Niner Neil Blumenfield sitting in second with 77,400.

Nic Manion, another WSOP Main Event final table member (from 2018), began on a hot streak but settled back down to 45,000 from his high of 63,400.
