PEMPIN LEADS IN LEVEL 11

Mike Pempin has moved to 230,000 and the top spot on the leaderboard with 126 players remaining in Day 1C of the @HPTPoker Columbus Main Event.

John Dollinger, Frank Lagodich, Scott Dehm and Kevin Eyster round out the top five stacks we came across on a sweet of the tournament area.

Dehm was rolling along on Thursday, a 100k stack early in Level 12 when an issue arose causing him to need to leave for the remainder of the tournament. He blinded all the way down to 14,000 before the Bag-n-Tag time hit. He's able to be back today and take a run at a bigger bag, thanks to this being a Best Stack Forward tournament.

Here's a look at other estimated stacks from around the room.
