Richard Zipes

There are roughly 110 players remaining and they are enjoying a 40-minute respite from the poker room. They’ll return to play six more levels before bagging up their chips.

Andre Rakusa continued to have a nice run after the last break and moved his stack up to 199,000. But they are all chasing Richard Zipes at 205,000 and it looks like a lot of that came from previous big stack Seth Gilson.

Zipes came real close to a big win in 2015 when he finished second in the 2,500-entry Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown $570 Deep Stack tournament for more than $100,000.
