The Championship field is about to hit their dinner break and we found one of the hottest players in the game at the moment.

Keven Stammen has cashed three times this month for more than $200,000 combined. He won a Heartland Poker Tour opening event in Indiana and closed out that series with the Main Event title. Stammen followed that up with a deep run in this week’s Borgata Fall Poker Open Main Event and finished in third place for another $100,000.

With the board reading , Matt Waxman checked from early position and Jennifer Parker bet 11,000. Waxman thought for a second, then moved all in by tossing in a stack of chips. After counting down the stack, he was all in for 30,375 and Parker would be left short if she called and lost.

After a few minutes to think it through, she released her hand and stayed over 50,000 as Waxman built himself over 50,000 as well.

Flight A Entries: 224

The Championship is just about set to hit their second break of the day as the field continues to increase. They’ll step away for another 15 minutes and gather themselves for the next two hours, after which they will enjoy a 90-minute dinner.

After four levels, we have our first former RRPO champion in the house. Matt Waxman captured the RRPO Championship title in 2013, the last time the series was held in the old Poker Room before growing big enough for the ballroom. In addition to his RRPO title, Waxman also captured his first WSOP bracelet earlier that year and he won a WSOP Circuit Main Event ring in 2010 for his personal Triple Crown.
