CHIP LEADERS EMERGE (EVENT #6)

Volkwine is Clear Leader

After a steady stream of bust outs, action in the 1k is slowing down. Just back from a color-up break, it's clear that Paul Volkwine (Runnemede, NJ) is the chip leader with 550k.

His big hand comes when his (7 7) runs down the (A A) of "Action Bob" Hwang (Barnegat, NJ). "No, pocket aces weren't good to me the second time," says Hwang, who ships more than 300k, leaving him with 100k.

Earlier in the day Hwang's (A A) knocked out Steven Karp (No. Miami Beach, FL) who's (A K) is no good, after starting the day second in chips.

Steve Fiorentini (Winchester, MA) is second in chips with 480k, as 19 players remain with an average stack of 230k.

Level 17 is up and running (5k/10k/1k ante).
