Poker pros Leo Wolpert and Vanessa Selbst were among the top 20 chip leaders of the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.

It seems Selbst’s name appears among the top 20 of just about every WSOP event she plays in at one point or another.

Selbst, who has won $5.4 million on the live poker circuit to date, already has two WSOP bracelets, including one she snagged at the Event #52 - WSOP 10 Game Mix / Six Handed just two weeks ago.  One of poker’s greatest female players has won nearly a half million dollars already at this year’s World Series of Poker.  It appears Selbst will finish in the money at the Main Event as well with the dreaded 666 finisher and all others thereafter guaranteed just shy of at least $20,000.

Meanwhile, Leo Wolpert will enter Friday’s play among the top 5 chip leaders.

Wolpert has one WSOP bracelet under his belt already along with 17 cashes.  He has made just shy of a million dollars on the live poker circuit to date. 

The Virginia resident has four small cashes at this year’s World Series of Poker.
