Championship, Day 1: Dinner Break Leaderboard

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship (Freeze-Out)
Level 7: 400/800/100 Ante

A careful scan of the field on the dinner break shows seven players with at least 135,000 in chips, though only three of them left their players’ cards so we could ID them. (We’ll identify the others when they return from dinner break.)

1.  Brian Phillis  –  204,700  (256 bb)
2.  Nicholas Immekus  –  157,600  (197 bb)
3.  Chun Law  –  154,600  (193 bb)
4.  Ari Engel  –  153,200  (192 bb)
5.  Krystal Seiling  –  142,800  (179 bb)
6.  Ryan Tepen  –  142,600  (178 bb)
7.  Emil Soffer  –  137,700  (172 bb)

Brian Yoon  –  115,000  (144 bb)

Brian Yoon’s stack is probably in the top 15 or so. The players are scheduled to return from dinner at 7:45 pm ET.

With 612 players remaining from a field of 900, the average chip stack is about 44,100 (55 big blinds). Registration remains open until  until the beginning of Level 9 (about 10:00 pm).
