Players Remaining: 45 of 1,973

Marcus Stein has been in or near the chip lead for the bulk of the day, and he still is, though his table has gotten tougher with the recent addition of Jessica Dawley.

There’s a new big stack in the field, though.

Victor Hamilton was just spotted dragging a huge pot, and after he stacked up, it became apparent that he’s the first player to cross into seven-figure territory.

Hamilton is a poker dealer at a local casino, and this result represents the first cash on his live tournament record. He’s put himself in good position to make it a big one, too. His stack of 1,225,000 gives him the overall chip lead with 45 players left, and he’s the only player with more than 60 big blinds as the new level begins.

Victor Hamilton – 1,225,000 (61 bb)
