Chipleaders Pascal Bibeau and Joseph Verdugo

Pascal Bibeau (left) and Joseph Verdugo (right) have been neck-and-neck for the chip lead for a little while, and when Bibeau’s table broke, he was randomly seated on Verdugo’s right.

If these two play a big pot together during this final level, the winner of that showdown could all but clinch the start-of-Day 2 chip lead.
