Championship: Chip Leaders Bag Bonuses

$2500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

 Young & Wach

Dan Wach (Boonton, NJ) and Orson Young (Oceanport, NJ) had to sweat the final counts, but in the end they are the Day 1A chip leaders.

Wach takes home the $3,000 chip leader bonus with 152,250, while Young (148,975) finishes as runner-up for $2,000.

"I was up to 180(k), but lost every flip after that," says Wach, "but I guess I can't complain."

Just missing out on the bonus cash is Shaheim Sheridan (Fayetteville, NC) who bags 143,900.

37 players bagged and tagged an average stack of 64k (107 bb).

Borgata online contest winner Tom Belasic (Ridgefield, NJ) finishes with 49,475 and returns Tuesday for Day 2 with blinds heading to 300/600/75 ante.

Day 1B players join the party Monday when a fresh batch of players, and some Day 1A bust outs, join the party.
