3.  Rayan Chamas  –  419,000  (168 bb)
4.  Luciano Nardi  –  400,000  (160 bb)
5.  Aleksandrs Zenkovs  –  350,000  (140 bb)

With 655 entries, there is nearly $2.1 million in the prizepool on its way to the $3 million guarantee, which should be surpassed fairly early in the day tomorrow.

Day 1B begins tomorrow (Saturday) at 11:00 am, with unlimited re-entries until registration closes around 9:15 pm. Stay tuned to WPT.com for our continuing coverage of WPT Seminole Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open.
