Austin on top at the Rio

2008-07-08 16:06:10

Steve Austin tops the leaderboard in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event following a mammoth chip-counting session at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Californian heads up the field with a stack of 149,000 after four days of poker action.

Austin may not be a familiar name in the poker world, but he has won two events in the past, a medium-size Winnin' o' the Green tournament in 2006 and a preliminary competition at the World Poker Challenge last year.

Mahamed Kowssarie is breathing down his neck in second with 146,000 chips, followed by David Stucke on 140,525.

Sami Rustom and Dylan Linde take up the other top five places.

World Poker Tour champion Victory Ramdin is the most high profile of the top ten, sitting in seventh place, while David Oppenheim, Alexander Kostritsyn, Carlos Mortensen and Gus Hansen all have positions inside the top 30.

Mortensen won the tournament back in 2001.
