Dudani is the points leader in the race to the National Championship that will be held in Las Vegas before the 2011 World Series of Poker. Dudani has less points than Charles "Woody" Moore, but Moore has already locked up a seat after he won the last WSOP Circuit Main Event in Southern Indiana, so he's guaranteed a slot. Dudani isn't and his next closest competitor is Kevin Calenzo. Dudani leads Calenzo by only 2.5 points, 147.5 to 145.
Both are still alive here and have been crushing the WSOP Circuit events this season. Calenzo is working on making his third Main Event final table if he can get there here in Hammond. He final tabled the first two in Council Bluffs and Southern Indiana already. He has four Circuit cashes totaling over $78,000. Dudani has one gold ring and four cashes to his name this season with nearly $70,000 in winnings.
