Rajat Paliwal has taken over the Main Event Day 1A chip lead through six levels

We're on to Level 7 in Day 1A of the Main Event with 229 entries now in the field and 160 players remaining to see blinds of 500 / 1,000 (1,000).

Rajat Paliwal (199,300) has continued to grow his stack and now sits atop the PokerOrg leaderboard with just under 200,000 chips. Vijay Ramani sits just behind with 173,700, while Arlen Sarte rounds out the chip count podium at 154,000.

The updated top ten can be found under the 'chip counts' tab above.

Following the next three levels of play at approximately 5:30 p.m. PT, the remaining players will be sent on their 75-minute dinner break. Following that, three more levels of play will be available for late registration or re-entry before the desk closes at the start of Level 13.

At a loaded table that also includes Tyler Patterson, Ben Primus, and Steven Gnatovich, we found this stack of another well-known crusher who recently picked up his fifth and most noteworthy Circuit ring yet.
