The last two months have been the best two months of Cong Pham’s poker career – after finishing third in the 2013 World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open in September, Pham won the HPT Daytona Beach Main Event in mid-October.

There’s one long day of poker standing in his way, but Pham is on the path to his second WPT final table of the year after bagging the overnight chiplead on Day 2 of the 2013 bestbet Jacksonville Fall Poker Scramble. It’s Pham’s second consecutive session on top, having bagged the Day 1A lead as well, and his 892,000 stack has him well out in front. He’s followed most closely by Andrew Whitaker (772,000), Billy Swaringen (619,000) and Randall Price (616,000).
There are no former champions left among the final 26 players, but there are some tournament veterans still in search of their first WPT title. Ryan Eriquezzo, Jared Jaffee, David Diaz and Jeff Madsen each have above-average stacks, while Jacob Bazeley and Matt Glantz will have to fight their way back from shorter stacks.
