Players are returning from another break with only 272 players remaining of the 960 that began the day.

Barbaro Diaz is the latest player to cross the million-chip mark and it put him in the lead. His 1,525,000 is good enough to top Michael Johnson’s 1,389,000. Juan Garcia, Perry Shiao, and David Rauf round out the seven-digit gang with reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year David Prociak not far behind.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Sheddy Siddiqui is still sitting comfortable along with Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah.
