Jacobo falls to third in POY standings

Jacobo Fernandez of Hollywood has slipped from first to third in the World Series of Poker Player of the Year standings.

More correctly, he got passed. By Erick Lindgren (245 points), and Barry Greenstein (235 points). Two pretty good names who are also having good tournaments.

So, to win POY, Jacobo needs to cash again. He's already cashed seven times, for $658,100.

Meanwhile, event 49, yet another $1,5000 No-Limit Hold 'em, saw six locals cash:

Steven Schaet, Davie, 68th, $7,420;
Allan Bieler, Plantation, 117th, $4,081;
Paul Balzano, Sunrise, 159th, $3,524;
Greg Silverstein, Davie, 202nd, $2,968;
Bruce Simberg, Boca Raton, 242nd, $2,782;
William Soffin, Delray Beach, 245th, $2,782.

Also, if you're going to play in the main event, you better get on your plane. And good luck.
