1.  Michael Ortiz  –  2,550,000  (63 bb)
2.  Jaime Campos  –  2,370,000  (59 bb)
3.  Jeff Yeh  –  2,300,000  (57 bb)

9.  Angelo Miele  –  1,485,000  (37 bb)

Jeff Yeh catapulted up the leaderboard after winning a pot worth 2.3 million against Mike Beasley in a preflop aces-vs.-queens situation. (Beasley’s queens never improved.) Beasley is still in the tournament, but short-stacked with about 440,000 (11 big blinds).

It appears that a turbo tournament wasn’t fast enough for the final eight players in Event 3 ($240 turbo no-limit hold’em) at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. The final eight players have decided to chop up the remaining prize pool. We will have full results for you when they are released by the tournament staff.

As the next break approaches, there are 83 players remaining in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em), with an average chip count around 817,000 (27 big blinds). These players are all guaranteed at least $2,136.

Here’s a look at the chipleaders, along with some of the notables further back, with the blinds at 15,000-30,000 and a 3,000 ante.

1.  Jaime Campos  –  2,550,000  (85 bb)
2.  Steven McKoy  –  2,300,000  (76 bb)
3.  Brian Reinert  –  1,800,000  (60 bb)
4.  Pedro Rios  –  1,800,000  (60 bb)

Marsha Wolak  –  330,000  (11 bb)

Jamie Campos took the chip lead after busting a player in a post-flop aces-vs.-queens situation. The flop came , and the player with pocket queens was all in for about 400,000, but Campos dominated him with pocket aces.

The turn was the a blank, and the river was a K, which caused a brief moment of tension as everyone was watching for a queen. Campos won the pot worth about a million in chips to bust his opponent and move into the chip lead with 2.55 million.

The field continues to shrink quickly after dinner here in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em), and they are down to the final 11 tables (99 players). These players are all guaranteed at least $1,933 in prize money.

The average chip stack is about 685,000 (28 big blinds), so this rapid pace should continue for a while with blinds at 12,000-24,000 and a 3,000 ante.

Event 4 ($240 Seven-Card Stud – $5,000 guaranteed) attracted a field of 41 players that generated a prize pool worth $8,200. The top five players will get paid in the event.

1: $3,690
2: $2,050
3: $1,230
4: $820
5: $410
