David Nathaniel Jr

We tracked down two interesting new players in the game, both working on a little something in the Main Event.

David Nathaniel Jr is the current front-runner for the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year award and trying to increase his lead this weekend. He finished tenth in the October Coconut Creek WSOP Circuit Main Event for a nice start to his year then continued it with a win here in the Tampa Pinktober Main Event to take the lead.

On the other end of the table, Thomas Johnson looks like the current chip leader in the Main Event. He’s up to 196,000 as the field gets ready to go on the 60-minute dinner break.
