Do you wanna get rocked? You're at the right place!

The World Poker Tour has invaded the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in what is the WPT's first ever non-regional tour stop ever in the State of Florida.

Florida legislation changed last year and this has allowed for tours like the WPT to set-up shop in FLA.

We already have over 400 players signed up for the event (registration closes at the start of Thursday's Day 2). We've already lost over 100 players following the end of Day 1 play.

The unofficial chip leader is LAPC Prelim Event winner Randy Dorfman. Dorfman also scored points at the Aussie Millions this season. He is 7th overall on the PTPR Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard. A good showing here would certainly help him skyrocket up the charts.

Todd Terry, Joseph Serock and Noah Schwratz round-up the Top 5.

Here are the notable chip counts - players over the average chip stack.
Randy Dorfman 160,000
Todd Terry 124,975
Joe Serock 101,000
Noah Schwartz 90,000
Matt Waxman 72,000
James Carroll 72,000
Ali Eslami 68,000
Matt Brady 65,000
Steven Levy 65,000
Jason Koon 65,000
Blair Hinkle 64,000
Greg Dyer 61,000
Vivek Rajkumar 61,000
Jordan Morgan 56,000
Shannon Shorr 53,000
Thayer Rasmussen 52,000
Darren Elias 49,000
Annette Obrestad 48,000
Mike Sexton 48,000
David "Bakes" Baker 47,000
Chino Rheem 45,000
Harrison Gimbel 45,000
James Mackey 44,000

Official payouts will be released shortly after registration closes on Thursday.
