Hebert will take his seat at the Rio with a commanding chip lead. The online poker player ended Day 2 with 13,052,534 chips. Shawn “shades927” Stroke is his closest competitor with 5,252,000 chips. Stroke is then followed by Ryan “hagzzz021” Hagerty (5,071,0572), Ye “YUAN365” Yuan (4,829,459), Michael “geNet1x” Cannon (4,408,847), Gershon “jets613” Distenfeld (3,475,481), Ron “Samthedog76” Jenkins (2,476,746), Upeshka “gomezhamburg” De Silva (2,151,969), and Harrison “Harrisond33” Dobin (1,581,392).

De Silva entered Day 2 with the chip lead and 71 players remaining. But he couldn’t run up a stack on Monday. Still, he’s a couple of double ups away from the chip lead. He’s the most accomplished and well-known player at the final table.

De Silva has three WSOP bracelets, and is the only past bracelet winner among the final table.

The remaining players will all take a break for nearly two weeks as the WSOP has to give them an opportunity to travel to Las Vegas. The online tournament was open to players in Nevada and New Jersey. And not everyone in the field resides in either of those states. So, time was needed for the competitors to make travel arrangements.

Should any of the players test positive, they will not be allowed to play and will automatically receive 9th place money.
