Twenty players remain in Event #32 of the 2015 World Series of Poker, a $5,000 No Limit Hold’em tournament. A familiar face leads the way with a stack of 1.9 million: James Andy McLEOD Obst (pictured), who has almost double the stack of the next closest player.

The tournament restarts at 1:00pm Pacific Time on Wednesday. Obst made waves throughout the day on Tuesday, including in a hand that was 3bet to see a flop of 7-2-10. Obst called a continuation bet from Maxx Coleman, who bet again when a queen hit on the turn. Obst raised and Coleman relinquished his hand, pushing Obst’s stack to over two million.

Obst has $300,000 in career WSOP winnings and is seeking his third final table. The closest he’s come to winning a bracelet was a third place finish in a $10,000 Stud event last year. He claimed the chip lead on Wednesday after doubling up with A-A against A-K.

Nacho Barbero (pictured) is in second place with a little over one million in chips. In one of the final hands of Tuesday’s play, Barbero 5bet all-in before the flop with K-Q and was in a race against 8-8. Barbero, from Argentina, hit a queen on the flop to pull ahead for good and double up.

Tuan Le, who already has two WSOP bracelets, is in sixth place in the $5,000 Six-Max event with a stack of 736,000. Le won this year’s $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball Championship. In fact, the last two WSOP tournaments he’s cashed in have been for bracelets. He won a $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball tournament last year, becoming the first repeat WSOP champ since 2009.

Le was the second person to hit one million in chips, showing A-4 on a board with two aces and two tens for a full house. His opponent folded and Le’s stack skyrocketed.

Jorryt van Hoof, who finished third in the 2014 WSOP Main Eventfor almost $4 million, is in 11th place entering Wednesday’s restart. Van Hoof sent Georgios Sotiropoulos to the rail in 23rd place after calling the all-in of Sotiropoulos with K-K on a flop of 8-8-6. Sotiropoulos rolled over 7-6, but the kings held. Van Hoof already has two top-ten finishes at this year’s WSOP.

Finally, we haven’t mentioned his name much during this year’s WSOP, but Jason treysfull21 Mercier is in 17th place with 328,000. He finished 29th in the $1,000 Hyper Hold’em event and is a two-time bracelet winner.

First place will make $633,357, while everyone left is guaranteed $20,000.
