Event 1: Early Big Stacks

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Level 11:  Blinds 600/1,200 with 200 ante.

There are still way to many players at way too many tables spread across the breadth and depth of the Poker Room, but tables are starting to break quickly now that registration has closed.

No way to know who the chip leader is, but some big stacks are starting to emerge.

Chris Farley

Chris Farley (W Deptford, NJ) is cruising with about 140k.  Chris is a regular on the tournament scene here at Borgata.  He's got lifetime earnings over $55,000, most of which came from events right here at Borgata.  His highest finish and largest single cash was a 3rd place finish in the 2011 Fall Open $260 NLH event, which garnered him $10,895.

Another Borgata Frequent Flier is John Lakatosh (Red Lion, PA) and he's built his stack up to over 130k.  "I'd have more is he hadn't just stolen a pot from me" John said, pointing across the table.  "It was only 5k", the other player explained.

John has more than a quarter-million dollars in reported lifetime tournament earnings.  His only win at Borgata was in the 2006 Summer Open $1,000 NLH event, good for more than $62,000.
