Players have filed out of the Brasilia Room here at the Rio, and stacks have been bagged and tagged. Leading the 177 remaining players is Jon Seaman from Texas, Ariz. Seaman tallied 62,600, and he leads by just 400 over four-time bracelet winner David Chiu. Seaman's biggest career cash is for $10,080 when he won a 2-7 No Limit Triple Draw tournament at the L.A. Poker Classic.
Chiu has claimed two Limit Hold'em bracelets and one bracelet each in Stud and Omaha Hi/Lo, so adding a H.O.R.S.E. bracelet would be a fitting addition to his collection. He also finished second in this very event a year ago for $164,690.
Other notable stacks bagged include Jesse Sylvia (51,200), Andy Bloch (47,900), Jonathan Aguiar (39,000), Matt Waxman (38,100), David Bach (27,700) and Dan Kelly (23,200).
Play resumes at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the Amazon Room, and we'll be back on the scene to bring you all the pertinent updates.
