Leading the way is Atlanta's own Daniel Weinman. Weinman was the only player to bag over two million chips, and will enter today with 2,560,000. He finished runner-up in the Harrah's Cherokee Main Event, earning $154,722, and can add a second six-figure score to his poker résumé with a third-place finish or better today.
