Leading the pack was pro Lee Watkinson.
Other pros still vying for a shot of the big multi-million dollar prize included:
Scotty Nguyen, the Vietnamese player who now calls Vegas his home. Nguyen has won $2.3 mil during his lifetime of tournament play.
Kenny Tran has managed to squeak out close to $600,000 lifetime winnings.
David Tran might not be considered a pro - yet. But he has taken home most of those still left playing and is guaranteed to take home even more after this weekend, having won over $100,000 life time in tournaments.
Ayaz Mahmood has won lifetime $311,000.
Daniel Alaei has won over $600,000 during his playing career. He ranked among the lower chip leaders (under one million).
