The final starting flight of the $2,700 Summer Poker Open Championship is approaching its first 15-minute break, with 133 entries already on the board.

A handful of players have made fast starts, with Zachery Tsachalis leading the way on 91,000 chips, closely followed by Lawrence Abrams (89,000) and Xiang Zou (68,000).

Several accomplished players are also beginning to build stacks. WPT champion Bin Weng has climbed to 54,000 after starting the day with the full 40,000-chip stack, while fellow WPT champion Aaron Mermelstein sits on 46,000. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Frank Funaro is also in the mix with 40,000.
