Ryan Van Sanford
Florida's own Ryan Van Sanford (pictured) leads the final 10 players in Event #3. At just 21 years old, Van Sanford's deep run in this $580 re-entry event is the most recent in an impressive list of accomplishments that's highlighted by a victory in last year's WPT Jacksonville bestbet Bounty Scramble good for more than $420,000. Van Sanford holds 1,650,000 chips and is one of two players over the 1,000,000 mark. The other, Christian Rodriquez, has 1,008,000.
The two chip leaders are joined at the final table by 2015 National Championship ninth-place finisher Jonathan Abla, ring winner Jeff Dobrin and Janet Fitzgerald.
Ten-handed seating assignments and chip counts:
Seat 1: Raymond Ruszkowski - 914,000 (45 bb)
Seat 2: Ernest Greene - 783,000 (39 bb)
Seat 3: Damian Sanchez - 672,000 (33 bb)
Seat 4: Jonathan Abla - 790,000 (39 bb)
Seat 5: Ryan Van Sanford - 1,650,000 (82 bb)
Seat 6: Jeff Dobrin - 476,000 (23 bb)
Seat 7: Jordan Shamah - 250,000 (12 bb)

Seat 9: Trent Smith - 85,000 (4 bb)
Seat 10: Christian Rodriquez - 1,008,000 (50 bb)
Cards are in the air now with about 15 minutes left in the 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante level. Each of the 10 remaining players has locked up $4,822 while the tournament's victor earns $64,575, 50 points toward the Casino Championship and, of course, a Circuit gold ring.
