Among the famous players who collected huge stacks were Wynn Millions 2022 runner-up Isaac Kempton (2,100,000), Wynn Summer Classic champion Adam Hendrix (2,055,000), bracelet holder and WPT champion Soheb Porbandarwala (2,035,000), bracelet holder Jason Gooch (1,850,000), WPT champion Taylor von Kriegenbergh (1,750,000), WSOP 2022 Main Event finalist and WPT champion Asher Conniff (1,675,000), bracelet winner Steve Gross (1,700,000) and WPT champion and 2-time bracelet winner Freddy Deeb (1,650,000).

A lot of star players left the tournament

Freddy Deeb managed to climb to the top of the chip count thanks to a huge pot that he won in the middle of the day. Deeb, with a set of queens, defeated a set of tens of opponents. WPT Ambassador and host Lynn Gilmartin also remains in the game. The champion of the women’s event EPT Barcelona 2015 collected 930,000 chips. Most likely, Gilmartin will get into the prizes, and this will be enough to earn the largest amount in her career in live poker.

However, Gilmartin is not the only WPT employee left in the game. WPT commentator Tony Dunst, who is a 2-time bracelet winner and WPT champion, will start the third day with a stack of 270,000 chips. Top 6 chip count WPT Championship after the second day:
