Ryan Jones has been pointed out to us as a player to keep an eye on so we will do just that,
At last year's WSOP, Jones had a deep run in the Main Event, eventually finishing 182nd for $42,990. This impressive result came only a couple of weeks after he won a $440 event at the Wynn for over $35,000.
Jones currently has 103,000 chips in front of him and that puts him above average in this event.

Eventually, a couple of minutes into the dinner break Ho folded.
Nguyen showed the which prompted Ho to ask "what was your kicker?" The reply was also a question, "what was your kicker?!"
Ho said it was obvious she had an ace and wondered if her hand was best but Nguyen refused to reveal his second hole card.
"Oh it was just a bunch of hands. The last one on a flop against pocket jacks." Harwood will be one of the shorter stacks returning from the dinner break.
The button moved all in and Jeffey Cole snap called one seat over, the big blind folded with the words "there are too many deuces in the deck."
Cole had and had a sweat versus on the board. One hand later, the now crippled opponent moved all in with and Cole called with . The big blind moved all in for 14,700 with and Cole called off, the board ran out to give the big blind a runner runner double up.
