Hollywood Agent Leads World Series of Poker
With less than 30 players remaining and all looking for the huge $12 million prize, the World Series of Poker is reaching its final stages.

Former Hollywood agent, Jamie Gold, is currently sitting pretty with 13 million chips in his hand. But as any poker player knows, that can change drastically in a matter of hands if luck turns against him.

Online player, Erik Friberg, is in second place with 7.7 million chips whilst David Einhorn is a close third - and plans to donate any winnings to the Michael J Fox foundation
At the noon start, the 45 players left in the hunt for the $12 million grand prize after nine days of no-limit Texas Hold 'em were greeted with plastic bags full of chips placed at their assigned seats at the Rio hotel-casino.

Gold's was so huge he said he spent the first hour "just stacking" them.

Gold got to work early, getting an opponent to call with a pocket pair of 10s to Gold's pocket ACeS.

Later, Gold improved his stack again when he called an all-in bet from Rob Betts. Gold's two pair of aces and kings beat Betts' aces and jacks
