Tyler Bonkowski

Players returned to their seats after the first break and everyone is chasing Tyler Bonkowski at the top of the counts. The 2011 WSOP bracelet winner already owned the biggest stack in the room and added another 4,000 when he knocked out a short stack shortly after the restart, his 2h2s out racing QhJh.

Francis Margaglione and Hany Ayoud are his closest competitors in early action but there’s plenty of time for anyone to catch him.
