Dan Chalifour

We found another new leader at the break, this time Dan Chalifour is out front with 199,500. Still a long long way if anyone wants to catch Dave Meagher in the clubhouse with 1,049,000 from yesterday’s flight.

Eli Kiwan is right behind with 199,000 followed by Nikit Bakarjiev (185,000) and Colby Covington (184,500).

Covington is widely known for his success as an MMA champion, but he’s picking up results at the poker table to get some additional notice. He finished seventh out of 7,703 entries in the 2022 SHRPO opener, the biggest field in state history, and later went on to win the Pot-Limit Omaha 8 title in that series. A few weeks ago, he finished tenth in the $10K GGMillion$ Championship.
