The Word from Brasilia
While we've lost the likes of Liv Boeree, Brandon Cantu, and David "Chino" Rheem throughout the day, Jean-Robert Bellande, Steve Topakas, Gabe Thaler, Jeff Tims, and Alex "Assassinato" Fitzgerald are still going strong. Jamie Roberts and Igor "Jr Parlay" Borukhov have emerged as two of the biggest stacks in the room. Borukhov looks to be the chip leader of the entire event right now with slightly over 150,000 chips. If you remember back to the WSOP Circuit event at Caesars Atlantic City, Borukhov stormed to the chip lead early in that event as well, only to barely eek into the money.
