John Casaubon

Players returned to their PLO seats after the break and we found two big stacks in early action. John Casaubon leads the field with 94,500 and Julio Delgado sits in second with 90,700.

Delgado is coming off a win a few days ago when he captured the $400 Labor Day Deep Stack title for more than $20K.

Alex Ivan

The $400 PLO tournament is turning out a great group of players, with 81 in the game before the first break. Due to the nature of that game, we will see some re-entries along the way.

We have a pair of Alex(ander) in the field early. Alexander Orlov made a big splash last spring when he finished sixth in the Tampa Poker Classic Championship for $41,800 and Alex Ivan owns a Tampa guitar trophy with a win during the Fall DeepStack Poker Series in 2016.
