Eye on the Prize

$2500 + $200 CHAMPIONSHIP Double Play Re-Entry NLH

Alex Queen, who tripled up to 95k in level 2, now has 175k (875 BB) after busting two more players.

"It's not worth counting," he says nonchalantly knowing that the Championship is a three-day grind.

But one thing players are keeping an eye on is the $3,000 bonus given to each of the chip leaders at the end of days 1A and 1B. Queen is certainly the early favorite to take home the extra cash.

Players are on break and re-entry is closed; play resumes with level 5 (100/200/25 ante).
