There are quite a few big name players still alive at the LAPC, in fact, the number of star players outweigh the number of lesser known players with 18 players left at the LAPC where Day 5 play is set to begin in a little over an hour from this post.
Leading the charge is the #14th ranked player on the 2012 PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard Noah Schwartz. Schwartz (2011 PTPR Rank: 828th) won the 5K PLO Turbo 8-max event at the PCA right out of the gate in 2012. Schwartz also had a nice run in his home state at the WPT Lucky Hearts earlier this month.
Scwartz is followed closely by WSOP bracelet holder Dan djk123 Kelly, Kelly is 21K in chips behind Schwartz at the start of Tuesday play. Kelly (2011 PTPR Rank: 539th) had a score earlier in the year at a Aussie Millions prelim event.
Stephen Chidwick (2011 PTPR Rank: 786th), who scored in the 5K prelim event here at the LAPC last week and Jason Dewitt (2011 PTPR Rank: 1236th) round-out the Top 5.
