The opening flights of the WPT Emperors Palace Poker Classic are in the book with home player Eugene Du Plessis the hare leading the chasing pack.
The South African was the only player to crack the 100,000 chip barrier yesterday (he returns with 142,100) and has a massive lead over nearest day 1B rivals Edward Pastoll (99,775) and Darren Kramer (77,175).
