Players returned to their seats after a quick 15-minute breather and they are all chasing a SHRP regular.

Nigel Murray came back to 86,000 in his stack with Francis Langer his closest competitor in the early levels. Murray has a handful of Seminole Hard Rock Poker titles including a $90,000 win during the May Deepstacks Series. He just missed winning last year’s Player of the Year race, finishing second to Ory Hen after a year of grinding.
