A Pro Showing

Well there aren't too many of them, but the ones who are here are here to play. With a few other big-time poker tournaments going on around the country, it is understandable that a lot of the professional poker players are not present here in Tunica.

That's good news for the ones who are here though. As we gaze around at stack sizes following the dinner break, a number of the big stacks in the room belong to full-time players. Kathy Liebert and Tom Franklin are both above the 50,000-chip mark, while both Jordan Morgan and Gavin Smith have topped 75,000!

Not to be overlooked, Allen Kessler is playing his own game. He has just 8,900 chips left, but that may well be plenty for the cagey Kessler.
