Event 2: Chip Leaders

$300 + $50 NL

Sesso Sailing Along

Players are just back from a color-up break and playing Level 10 (600/1,200/200 ante).

The clear big stack is David Sesso (Chicago, IL) who's at 128k. Sesso is a poker pro who made a last minute decision to tag along with his buddies who were making the trip to Borgata. All three players in the group are still in the tournament.

Sesso says he was down to 5k in the early going, but back to back triple-ups gave him some breathing room. He then knocked out another big stack to crack the 100k mark.

Other big stacks include:

Dennis Zollo (Middletown, NY) 85k
John Harvilla (Minersville, PA) 84k
Gil Sacks (Bala Cynwyd, PA) 81k

This is the last 30 minute level. Starting with Level 11 (800/1,600/200 ante) time will be increased to 40 minutes.
