The players are taking a welcome break for dinner before they settle back in their seats for the last four levels of play in Day 2. William Givens is still going strong and has improved his stack to 13,735,000 chips. Kevin Rabichow has built up his stack to 12,370,000, and is now second in chips.
While everyone is grabbing a bite to eat, we wanted to share some background information about some of the players in the field today.
Currently third in chips, Manig Loeser, is still on a good streak, he just won the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event (€5300 buy in) for over €603K.
Ami Alibay is slated to play the final table of the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, being held in Vegas at the end of this month on May 30th. Maria Ho is also on that final table, along with Eric Afriat, who finished in the top 15 of the MILLIONS Montreal Open a few days ago.
And last, but definitely not least, Antonio Esfandiari recently spent 6 months training for a boxing match vs comedian Kevin Hart and won.
