Sakip Shehu wins $3,000 with 231,625
All of our Championship players have bagged and tagged chips and called it a night.
Congratulations to Sakip Shehu who at the end of Day1B had the most chips and took home the $3,000 Chip Leader Bonus Prize. Basically that means Sakip is free-rolling the rest of the way.
The next closest bag of chips came in at 199k and belonged to Nicholas Mandredo.
Didn't look like Sakip tightened up his game at the end even though the $3,000 was on the line.
Sakip was getting his chips in good and his hands were holding up when it counted.
Sakip's 231,625 falls short to Day 1A leader, Andrew Interdonato's 234,775.
Andrew is your overall chip leader going into Day-2.
Top 5 stacks Heading to Day-2 include:
1. Andrew Interdonato........ 234,775
2. Sakip Shehu...................... 231,625
3. Nicholas Manfredo.......... 199,200
4. Alex Nepomnyaschiv....... 180,200
5. James Sparacio................ 177,050
Congratulations to the 106 players from yesterday and our 231 remaining players today.
Look for a total list of chip counts for all 337 remaining players after 9 am.
At 12-noon, when players from Day 1A combine with players from Day 1B, the blinds will be 400 / 800 with 75 antes.
An impressive 670 players entered the 2011 Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship which means 20,100,000 total chips are in play.
Average stack equals 59,644 (75 BB).
We'll see everyone tomorrow at noon where our final 337 will battle it out for the $1,675,000 Total Buy-In and $388,657 first prize with 63 making the money. Should be an exciting fun-filled day of Borgata Poker.
Have a good night!
