The levels are up in the Championship with few major pots over the remainder of Level 23.

With the three biggest stacks sitting at Table 72, it’s not a surprise the chip lead might change hands early. Shaun Deeb took a big, early pot from Jake Bazeley without  a showdown and he grabbed the lead with his elimination of David Peters.
