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
