The London native enters today third in chips with 813,000. Andrey Zaichenko (424,000), who has over 3 million in career earnings and a 2-7 lowball triple draw WSOP bracelet to his name. And Dan Zack, who won his first bracelet earlier in the 2019 WSOP in Event 6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw. He sits at the lower end of the chip counts with a stack of 214,000.
