Minoru Murano Tops Day 1C

Level 12: 1,500 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Minoru Murano - KPC Main Event Day1 C Chipleader

All three KPC Main Event starting flights have played through the first twelve levels, with Day 1C seeing an additional 42 qualifiers onto Day 2. The fast-paced last heat wrapped up by the stroke of midnight with Japan's Minoru Murano holding down the lead. Murano rose to the top rank by the last hour of play and was the sole runner across the last flight to breach the 300K mark. The last few hands however, saw him suffer a blow against Tam Lek Lon to shoot down to 235,000, still enough to sit atop the Day 1C leaderboard. Hong Kong's Chun Hung Chan trails closely behind with 220,000, followed by Taiwan's Wan Yu Lo with 208,500, to round up the top three spots.

Action resumes tomorrow, November 24th, 12 noon, for nine 60 minute blind levels across Day 2.
