We found some big stacks at the first break in tournaments this series, but popular local Luis Santoni might have topped them all. He started the day with a 20,000 starting stack like everyone else then sextupled that stack (look it up) to 125,000 in two hours. Santoni is the only player holding a full barrel of 5K chips.

Table 27 is going to have a rough time today. Santoni is sitting in the middle of a four-player lineup that includes Sheddy Siddiqui, Joe Reddick, and Greg Marcus.

Ramon Munez is a distant second with 68,000 and we’ll keep an eye to see who can catch Santoni, the 1995 Legends of Poker Champion.
