Nick Petrangelo

Players are back in their seats following the first break of the day. Level 1 through 3 saw no shortage of action with some bustouts, double-ups and some of the game’s most elite players taking their seats.

Nick Petrangelo, who finished fourth in the Lucky Hearts Poker Open $50,000 buy-in Super High Roller just a few days ago, is the chip leader while Jason Mercier is one of the tournament short stacks. On the last hand before break, Mericier called a 57,000-chip bet from Dylan Linde on a 4c2c2d4sTh board. Under turned over 4h2h for a fullhouse and took the pot.

Here’s a look at a few counts from around the room:
