Iaron Lightbourne (London, England) brings an impressive resume to the table, but also a sense of the unknown, will little to no history with most of these players he's sharing the felt with.

Players have returned from their final break of the flight, with just two levels left to play for the evening.  That being said, it's now a good time to look at some of the larger stacks in the room, to see how players fare in regards to the chip lead bonus (Event #18 seat).  Iaron Lightbourne (London, England) leads the field, sitting with 150,000, but has a group of players within striking distance.  Lightbourne may be a new name to the blog, but he owns a resume with over $1,378,000 in live tournament earnings, including a WTP Nottingham Main Event win ($308,766).
