Chris Roberts has been chasing Donald Groves on the HPO Columbus leaderboard all tournament. Groves found no luck in the main event, but he had a great week that propelled him to the top of the list.
In consecutive days, he won a PLO tournament, finished second in a No Limit tournament and cashed the Survivor tournament. He will likely win the leaderboard. The only way he won't is if Roberts wins the Main Event. However, if Roberts wins the Main he will get a seat to the $2,500 championship event at the M Resort and Spa. The same prize he would get for being at the top of the leaderboard, so if he already has a seat, Groves would win the seat for the leaderboard.
