Leading the way of the field is tournament regular Victor Ramdin (551,000). With over $5 million in recorded lifetime earnings, Ramdin is no stranger to the highs and lows of tournament poker. A victory here at Borgata has yet to be won by him and his stack here today puts him in prime position to collect a title.
