APPT Sydney: Slow start for No Mercy

Level 2 has concluded and the players have taken a short (10 minute) break, with Gary Benson the early chip leader with 36k.

Benson is wielding his stack at a six-handed table with three absent players (sitting out the first two rounds), and a spare tenth seat. Unfortunately Team PokerStars Pro Isabelle “No Mercy” Mercier is low on chips after the first two levels and goes to the break with a little over 7000.

Selected chip counts at the first break:

• Gary Benson 36k
• Gary Lent 30k
• Emad Tahtouh 24k (PokerStars Player)
• Mick Guttman 23k
• Billy “The Croc” Argyros 19k
• Joe Hachem 14k (Team PokerStars Pro)
• Dan Schreiber 7.5k
• Isabelle Mercier 7k (Team PokerStars Pro)
