Shaan Siddiqui may be the most accomplished tournament player in the remaining field. He played a number of high roller events, including a win last year in a $5000 + $300 8-max Event for $81,000. He has been increasing his stack steadily all day, and is now at about 1.4M, good for the lead.
The other tournament beast in the room is Ruben Perceval, but he was only able to stay alive so far, with an under-average stack. If he catches a break and brings up his belongings, he will surely be a force to reckon with.
