Parry could very well be the chip-leader at this stage with ~300k in his arsenal. Parry has just one tournament cash on his resume and will find himself lacking experience going forward in such a large event. However, the chips are there to work with and Parry is well on his way to finding a bag later this evening.

Quintana also joins the top portion of the stacks in play with ~240k midway through Level 11. He has ~$50k in lifetime earnings but has yet to post a cash in 2017. His second largest career scores comes in this very event. Quintana finished 5th in the Big Stax XI 300 for $16,057 showing that he has the experience to navigate this field and structure.
