"DuckU" is currently leading the $10,300 main event. When Day 1 came to a close, "DuckU" was sitting with around 607k in chips, which is about 70k more than his next closet competitor ("AJinOK").

We have talked about "DuckU" on this site multiple times before, as he has a number of very big online titles under his belt. You would have to think that he will be extremely comfortable on Day 2 of the event, given his chip lead and past victories in large online tournaments.

There are currently 27 players left in this event, including "RaiseOnce", "cpfactor" and "USCphildo".

The winner of this event will walk away with $1.16 million, while the runner-up will take home $851,775.00.
