Richard Leger

The dinner break ended, tournament staff colored up the black chips, and cards are back in the air.

We have a familiar leader in the tournament. Emil Soffer was the big stack at the first break and second break and now the dinner break. He is up to 217,000 with Richard Leger his closest competitor with 192,000. Then it’s a bit of a step back to third place Eric Souza with 96,000 and Cliff Conners with 82,000.

They will play three levels, take a 10-minute break, and return for the last three flights of the night.

Flight A players are heading towards their second break and we found our defending champ taking a seat in the field.

Dennis Rodriguez outlasted a huge 1,083-entry field in last year’s Deep Stack Poker Series Event 1 and walked away with $49,000 for the title after a five-way deal. He’s attempting to go back-to-back for another nice payday.
