Event 28 was one of the last big buy-in tournaments on the schedule and they played a little of the $2,200 four-card variety of the game. The tournament drew 79 PLO lovers to create a $158,000 prize pool.

The last nine players earned a piece of the money and they are about to return to play it down. Two-time WSOP winner (and WPT champ) Scott Clements comes back today with the lion’s share of the chips. He has 732,000 of the 3,160,000 chips in play with the rest split between the other eight players.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team Member Chance Kornuth sits in second position with 213,000 but the rest will need to make something happen in a hurry if they want the trophy later today.

They are unbagging their chips and will be back underway shortly.
