R27K High Roller Day 2 Update: Top stacks take charge
African Ace Poker Desk · 2026-11-05
26 players remain, chasing down to the 13 paid places. The Top 4 stacks are above the 2M chip mark.
With 26 remaining from the 126 total entries, there are 31.5M chips in play. There is an average stack of 1.2M.
The field is grinding during the final level of play (blinds are 20000-40000-40000).
Stephen Courtney leads on 2.5M, 63 big blinds deep and more than double the average.
Naven Naicker is next on 2.4M, while Darren Kramer and Roy Bitton are both above the 2M mark too.
What The Counts Mean
Four players return with 50 big blinds or more, deep enough to play post-flop rather than just shove.
The top three hold 64% of the chips in play, so the field is top heavy.
