Day 1D chip count: Italy leads with Alba in top spot, international field gears up for next round
Yesterday’s Day 1D chip count saw an intense mix of nationalities and strategies on display, with Italy leading the pack as Antonio Alba soared to the top, bagging a massive 1,200,000 in chips. Close on his heels was Ciaran McCullagh from Ireland with 1,089,000, making him a formidable competitor for the next rounds. Italy dominated the top 10 positions, showcasing a strong presence with Giuseppe Federico in third, Andrea Pasquale Crobu, and Franco Alessandro Pau among others—all posting solid chip stacks.
The UK, Sweden, and other countries also had representatives in good standing, like Glen Gaines and Lars Jonas Hahnert, who secured respectable spots in the top half. Lower on the leaderboard, players like Joshua James Hardman and Brigitta Helen Gustavsson from the UK and Sweden, respectively, still have a chance to rebound but will need to up their game significantly. Meanwhile, several players were eliminated just shy of gaining substantial momentum, and a few, including Michael Goertz and Martin Svoboda, rounded off the list with unknown chip counts—likely pushing their way to survive another day.
