Caleb Clarke

We are down to the final 48 Day 1A Championship players and it's Caleb Clarke leading the way. Clarke got off to a red hot start right out of the gate and he continues to add to his massive stack.

He is now sitting behind a mountain of about 275,000 and that's enough for the current Day 1A chip lead.

He's not alone at the top of the chip counts as both Paul Snead and Brian Altman have just climbed over the 200,000 chip mark.

Zhi Wu

Zhi Wu raised to 2,000 from middle position and the player in the hijack re-raised to 6,000. With the action on Brian Altman in the cutoff he made it 14,000.

It folded back to Wu who made it 32,000 and the player in the hijack quickly folded. Altman moved all in covering Wu who snap called for his last 62,000. Altman turned over K♠️K♦️ but Wu did one better tabling A♦️A. 

The 7♠️7♣️3♣️8♠️J♠️ runout was no help to Altman and Wu's aces held up to earn him the double up. 

Zhi Wu- 132,000 
Brian Altman- 105,000
