Less than half of the field remains which means some stacks are growing. Trung Pham has worked his stack up to 239,000 after the dinner break and among the biggest in the room.

Pham also knows a little something about winning big opening events. The three-time WSOP Circuit winner went all the way in Event 1 of the Hollywood RRPO series and banked $123K after besting a field of 4,558 entries.
