Jose Severino (a.k.a. Head2782) is currently ranked number one on the Bodog Poker Tournament Leader Board and has $40K at the World Series of Poker Main event.

Severino is currently leading the Bodog pack with his $40K chip stack. We can expect to see some great things from him this 24-year-old poker phenom, who hails originally from Panama but currently attends college in Gainseville, FL.

Johnathan Westra (a.k.a. UFPokerStar) is currently ranked number five on Bodog Poker Yearly Tournament Leader Board and is currently sitting with $27K in chips at the World Series of Poker.

Twenty-one-year-old Westra has already set a strong precedent for his live poker tournament skills here in Vegas. By winning the World Series of Poker bracelet for the $1,500 NL Holdem prelim event cashing for $109,018 and coming in second in the $1,500 NL Holdem prelim event for $55,890.

We'll keep our eyes on these two as the pressure mounts through Day 1D of the World Series of Poker.

If weren't able to make it down to Vegas to get in on the action here, you can still qualify for the WSOP Europe going down in London this September.
