Some of the new additions to the room include Victor Ramdin who just busted from Event #2: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Eight Handed). According to Ramdin he lost a "flip" against another player with against .
"That's the beautiful thing about the World Series," he told us. "You can bust out of one tournament and then hop right in another one in another room." Ramdin is off to a good start and has already collected some chips on top of his starting stack.
We also saw Bruce Buffer who has started to build up a healthy stack. Neither of them are even close to Ryan Lenaghan though who has more than double each of their chip stacks.
Almost as soon as we clicked publish on the Scott Seiver chip leader post, we saw Amanda Baker stacking up a ton of newly earned chips. Once she finished it all, we saw that she was sitting on a staggering 50,000, easily the biggest stack in the room. Baker has over $300,000 in live earnings, so her with chips is a site for sore eyes for the rest of the field.
When we saw Scott Seiver just before the break, he was sitting on a healthy stack of 12,000. Well he's tripled that stack since and is now by our counts the early chip leader in the room, sitting on 36,000. Here's what he tweeted just a few minutes ago.
