Event 8: Chip Leader

$400 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Jay Nair

The first color-up break makes it easy to see that Jay Nair (Redmond, WA) is the chip leader with 302k (252 BB).  He has more than all the other players at his table combined.

Nair's a $10/$25 cash game player, who's venturing into more NL tournaments. He picked up a $37,000 payday in September with a 5th place finish in Event 1 of the Borgata Poker Open.

Loren Chang (New York, NY) is second in chips with 215k, while there's a slew of players in the 150k range including Soheb Porbandarwalla (Standford, CT) who's at 158k.

280 (of starting 552) remain with an average stack of 49k (41 BB).  The green (25) chips are off the table as blinds are now 600/1,200/200 ante.
