Blake Whittington and the Chips of James Calderaro — Chipleaders Blake Whittington and James Calderaro are seated at the same table. Calderaro was out of his seat when this photo was taken, but you can see his chips in the foreground.

A scan of the field turned up only three players with at least 500K in chips, and they all had over 600K.

1. Blake Whittington – 660,000 (66 bb)
2. James Calderaro – 630,000 (63 bb)
3. Igor Pinheiro – 620,000 (62 bb)

Igor Pinheiro just crossed the 600K mark in a hand with the final board showing . The big blind checked the river, Pinheiro bet, and the big blind called. Pinheiro showed for a full house, sevens full of queens, and his opponent mucked.
