Some players have definitely chipped up nicely today, but so far none nicer than John Richards, who currently appears to have the biggest stack in the room.
Richards is a well-known mid-west poker player and a regular on the World Series of Poker Circuit. With over $500,000 in lifetime earnings, the biggest cash of his career came in January 2017, when he finaled the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event, finishing in 8th place for $46,708.
Last year at the WSOP he won a Daily Deepstack for $32,350, and in 2017 he final tabled Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout for $31,955. He will be hoping for another deep run in this, the largest poker tournament of all time.
When asked how he's managed to chip up, he simply said, "Won a few big pots, just running well."
