With 29 players left out of 128 entered in the 2011 Poker Player’s Championship, all eyes were glued to WSOP bracelet record holder Phil Hellmuth as he looks to grab his 12^th bracelet.

Hellmuth has come close so far this year, finishing two WSOP tournaments in 2^nd place and cashing out a few grand.

At press time Tuesday afternoon, Hellmuth had the 5^th biggest chip stack.

The chip leader was noted poker pro Josh Arieh. Brian Rast and George Lind followed.

Only 6 of the remaining 29 players were non-US citizens including big name Dane Gus Hansen.

Last year’s 2^nd place Poker Player’s Championship winner, Vladimir Shchemelev, had the 5^th largest chip count going into Tuesday afternoon.
