Final Two Tables: Raphael Duval Holds a Monster Lead
Level 31
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
With the recent elimination of Romio Mikhael in 17th place ($7,000), the final two tables have come together
The start-of-day chip leader Raphael Duval has almost doubled the stack he began the day with, and sits on 42,800,000 chips, more than double the next-biggest stack. That stack belongs to online qualifier Jeff Cuccurullo with 21,000. Debra Ann Holman sits in third place for now, with the only other online qualifier Nicholas Riseley blinding out and sitting in last place with 440,000. Riseley was unable to make it to the event and has laddered up significantly after starting the day with just over 5 million in chips.
