We’re down to our final 3 tables on Day 1A, and with 21 players remaining the leaders are Alan Cutler, Brian Hou and Saulius Kuklier.

Alan Cutler is a cut above the rest, well over 250,000 and comfortably in the lead at Table 3.

Over on Table 4, Brian Hou is in the catbird seat currently commanding around 210,000.

And finally at the back of the room closest to the stem of the riverboat proper is Saulius Kuklier, who after being moved from his just recently broken table has a new home at Table 5 with around 215,000 in tournament chips.

All three competitors have more than 70 big blinds, and with only one-and-a-half levels left to play look to be in a good spot to make a run on Day 2. Play will conclude for the evening when the tournament reaches the end of Level 15 or if and when the playing field is whittled down to its final 12% rounded down, which here on Day 1A that would mean 16 of the initial 139 players.

Alan Cutler	250,000	80,000
Saulius Kuklier	215,000	150,500
