James Rann
The 2018 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” Championship is down to the fourth day and we are open-ended. Unlike previous days, there is no set number of levels to play. The 14 remaining players will continue the grind until we have only six remaining, no matter how long it takes.
The stacks are deep and they continue with 90-minute levels, plenty of time to make moves.
James Rann moved to the top of the counts late on Day 3 and returns with the chip lead closely followed by James Gilbert. Local regulars Brett Apter, Alan Schein, and Ravi Raghavan are still in contention for the WPT title along with professional footballer/soccer player Brent Kallman of the MLS.
Cards fly again at noon and they will continue until only six remain for the WPT live stream final table.
