Event 1: Players Chipping Up

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

Tim Duda

Tim Duda (Rockaway, NJ) is chipping up nicely.  He's sitting behind about 290k which puts him second in chips.

Coleem Chestnut is still in the lead with 315k.

Robert Melo

Also chipping up is Borgata regular Robert Melo (Howard Beach, NY).  He's stacking about 250k and is on the climb.

Robert made back-to-back final tables here during last year's Summer Open, finishing 8th in the PLO Black Chip Bounty, and the next day finishing 5th in a Big Stack NLH event.   

25 tables remain in action today with 250 players remaining.  Average stack is about 93k.
