With 129 players remaining, Team Seminole Hard Rock Poker is down to just three contenders.

Matt Affleck (Seattle, WA)
Matt Affleck (Seattle, WA)

Matt Affleck is one of the shorter stacks in the room. The Seattle native is sitting with about 285,000 chips, good for 24 big blinds at the current level.

Michael Laake (Punta Gordo, FL)
Michael Laake (Brandenton, FL)

Michael Laake has that count beat. The gregarious pro from Bradenton is sitting behind a stack of close to 400,000 chips, putting him just below the chip average with 33 big blinds.

Stewart Newman (Davie, FL)
Stewart Newman (Davie, FL)

Stewart Newman is on the extreme opposite end of the leaderboard. Newman returned from break with a stack in the high six figures, and a couple small pots this level have pushed him across the million-chip milestone. Newman has about 1,040,000 chips as Level 21 ticks down. That gives him nearly 90 big blinds and a spot among the chip leaders.
