Carlos Loving (Sarasota, FL)

Players have just returned from their second break of the day, and are now playing Level 5, with new blinds of 150/300/50.  The structure of this event, and the quality of play in the field, doesn't really bode well for seeing any really large chip counts during these early stages.  James Salmon (Davie, FL) currently holds the early chip lead with 85,000 and is continuing the solid play we've seen to this point in the series.  Right behind Salmon is Carlos Loving (Sarasota, FL), a player with over $530,000 in career earnings, who's coming off a very succesful WSOPC series at PBKC.  Loving cashed in four events during the two-week series, and earned just over $35,000 combined in those events.
