Points Contenders at a Glance

Hamish Crawshaw will need a top 30 finish in the money in the Main Event to take over the lead and another three players are in contention for the WPT Passports ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 which the top three will take home. Jae Kyung Sim, known to most by his nickname Simba, has been eliminated and Si Yang Phua on his table is among the big stacks. Crawshaw is back for the fourth bullet and David Erquiaga already bagged up chips on Day 1a, but Hari Varma remains in the top spot thanks to his tiebreaker advantage.
