Jesse Wigan

UK based Jesse Wigan is the current chip leader and had the honour of choosing the number of hands left to play before bagging up for the night.

Wigan announced that there will be six more hands to play through before putting the chips in the bags for Day 2.

He boasts the current largest chip count, sitting at an impressive 417,000. There are a couple of players hot on his tail, looking bag at the top. Time will tell whether Wigan can hold the lead.
