Lance Howard has muscled his way into the chip lead with six players remaining in Event 46.
The final table of Event 46 is starting to get near the big money and the two players best positioned to take down the $30,954 first place prize are Lance Howard and Veerachai Vongxaiburana. Both players are hovering near 1,000,000 chips and control approximately two-thirds of the betting units in play. With those two players side-by-side, it makes for an interesting table dynamic with short stacks comprising the remaining field.
With less than 120 big blinds currently in play and the relatively swingy nature of PLO8, a lot can change before long. A look at the updated chip counts and remaining payouts is below.
