Dinner Break; Little and Seidel Among Leaders
Three levels are in the books on Day 1b of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event, and among the chip leaders on the 90-minute dinner break are six-figure club members Jonathan Little, Jeff Norman, Joe DeGeorge, Sung Yi, Erik Seidel and Trung Nguyen.
With nearly $5.8 million in career live tournament earnings, Little is the most experienced of the bunch. We'll see if the professional poker player and coach can continue to run it up after the dinner break. Seidel of course finished runner up to Johnny Chan "The Master" in the 1988 WSOP Main Event.
Paul Volpe is eyeing another deep run in the Main Event - he finished 20th in 2012 - and won a nice all-in pot during Level 3. Chris Moorman was all in and at risk with against the 2014 WSOP bracelet winner's , and the pocket queens held up. Volpe is sitting around 70,000 chips.
Also exiting this past level were Russell Thomas, Toby Lewis and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. Grospellier flopped top two pair against bottom set, and was eliminated before the antes.
The players are now on dinner break for 90 minutes, and we're going to take one with them. For the time being, enjoy this Main Event strategy video with Joseph Cheong:
