Remember the unknown chipleader from the last break? He had the chip lead, but didn’t return from break for quite a while. He eventually returned, and we found out he is Jonathan Gordon, a regular at the Coconut Creek poker room. He had some phone calls to make and since he had “walking around” chips, he decided to take a break.
Gordon still has a big stack, but he’s no longer chipleader, as Nigel Murray and Daniel Rambally have both surpassed him at Table 11.
Nigel Murray – 370,000 (123 bb)
Daniel Rambally – 365,000 (122 bb)
Jonathan Gordon – 335,000 (112 bb)
