Ramana Epparla sits at the top of the counts, despite handing over some chips to Stuart Taylor in one of the last hands of Day 2. Theo Jorgensen is a close second, shortly followed by 25K Fantasy player David Stamm, who sits in third place.
Stamm took down a big pot in the last level, helping him climb in the counts when he won at showdown against Herbert Gelman, having flopped a set of deuces.
