It was a great session for Netro, who has picked up some late momentum to jump up to 1.8M in chips - just before the add-on break.

It’s been a tough grind for the remaining field as 20 players still stand after 92 entries, which has generated a R2.1M prize pool.

With blinds at 8000-16000-16000, the total chips in play sit at 16.1M, making the average stack 805K.

Netro commands the field at the top of the counts with 1.74M chips, sitting on a comfortable stack of 109 big blinds.

Benjamin Lingenfelder trails in second place with 1.26M, while Stephen Courtney holds 1.2M.

Marko Nortje with 1.12M and A.E with 1.08M round out a deep-stacked Top 5, with all five players returning with 50 big blinds or more.

The field is distinctly top-heavy at this point in the action, with the top three stacks holding 66% of the chips in play.

Every player inside the top five currently sits above the room average, establishing a commanding presence at their respective tables as the level continues.
