WPT LUCKY HEARTS: JUTTELSTAD REMAINS ON TOP, GIMBEL TRENDING

PHOTO CREDIT/SOURCE: WPT.com

Not many people were familiar with the name Matt Juttelstad when the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open began a few days ago ... but, with two straight days on top of the leaderboard, it certainly looks like Juttelstad means business here in Hollywood.


Lurking not too far behind is Harrison Gimbel. Gimbel, who has a win and third place finish at major events in this very casino, will be looking to continue his ascension to the top of the chip counts. The 2010 PCA Main Event winner certainly has an impressive resume, not bad for a guy who's barely in his 20's.

The final storyline belongs to Florida pro Noah Schwartz. Will Schwartz make it to the Seminole today? Schwartz has jury duty today. He plans to fulfil his duty as a citizen, but, hopes to be able to return to his chip stack early enough, to limit any damages.

We're expecting to weed through the final 34 players and find our final table participants today in Florida - oh, and our money bubble is set to burst during today's play as well!
