Munro surged ahead with a move that knocked out Li in 27th position, amassing a substantial 1.4 million chips in the process, a development I regrettably missed witnessing live.

Leader takes charge: Munro takes the helm

In the ongoing $560 NLH Megastack tournament, Scot Munro has emerged as the frontrunner, stacking up a significant amount of chips and leaving his competitors in his wake.

The current standings show Munro in the lead with a whopping 1.4 million chips, while Dave S, who had been holding onto the top spot, has lost ground and is now in second place with approximately 1.2 million chips.

The action that propelled Munro to the top of the leaderboard took place on another table, where Malcolm Bolger, a player who started the game with more chips than he had on him, made a significant bet. Bolger shoved the small blind for more than 300k, a move that caught the attention of Seamus McGearty, who was under the gun.

McGearty, after a brief pause, chose not to call Bolger's bet, a decision that seemed to have cost him dearly as he folded shortly after, following a bit of a tank. This turn of events has undoubtedly led to a shift in the game's standings, with Munro gaining a significant advantage.

The game, which includes two starting flights and reaches Day 2 with deep stacks, has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Jerry Li, a player who had been holding his own, found himself sent out in 27th place by none other than Scot Munro.

As the tournament progresses, with multiple tables and players, the competition remains fierce. Dave S, despite losing ground, is still holding strong in second place, while Malcolm Bolger and Seamus McGearty are battling it out in the lower ranks.

The game continues to captivate spectators and players alike, with Munro's strategic moves and impressive chip stack keeping everyone on the edge of their seats. The exact duration of the tournament is not specified, but with Day 1A and 1B flights in the rearview mirror, the road to the final table is starting to take shape.
