The big names are in battle at the 2010 World Series of Poker main event and there are just 574 players still in contention. Two online pros who have positioned themselves for the top spot are Phil Galfond and Johnny Chan. Pro Galfond is better known to online players by his handle “OMGClayAiken,” he sits in 5th place on the leader-board and is one of the most successful online poker pros in the short history in the age of online poker. He is also the owner and instructor at BlueFirePoker.com, and already has a WSOP bracelet to his credit.
Chan is one of the most recognizable poker players in the world thanks to his 10 WSOP bracelets, 2 Main Event Championships, and of course his immortalization in the movie “Rounders”. Lying in 13th place overall, Chan is very near the top of the leader-board, and has been amongst the chip leaders throughout the tournament. Winning his 3rd Main Event would be one hell of a way to tie Phil Hellmuth for most bracelets all-time with 11.
