$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600 with a 200 Ante
Players Remaining: 45 of 158

The small remaining field is stacked with familiar faces, including four members of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team.

Michael Laake is the businessman of the bunch, sitting quietly with sunglasses on and sharing a studious table with Marc Stein and Marc Levy, among others. Laake has about 80,000 chips at the moment.

In contrast, Darryll Fish is part of a much livelier group at an adjacent table that features himself, Ryan Van Sanford, and the chatty T.K. Miles, who is the life of the party and the most talkative player in the room. There is laughter and red wine flowing freely at that table, and Fish’s stack currently sits just under 100,000 chips.

Two tables over is Wally Maddah, who is sharing space with John Holley and David Jackson. He’s chosen a different approach than Miles. Maddah appears to be the least chatty player left in the room, sitting behind dark sunglasses, headphones over his ears, enjoying a bit of a massage. The plan is working out well so far, as Maddah currently sits well above the chip average with about 120,000.

Jessica Dawley is showing those guys how it’s done at the moment, though. She’s sitting behind a stack of about 145,000 chips, putting her near the top of the leaderboard as the end of the day approaches. She’s just polished off a little late-night snack and had a quick visit from Daniel Negreanu before returning to some friendly banter at a table that includes Evan Teitelbaum, Jake Schwartz, and Brett Bader.
