Andrew the Great

Andrew Interdonato (Washington DC) is the end of Day 1A big stack and that earns him a cool $3,000 bonus. Interdonato, who finished 2nd in Event 14 ($350 Black Chip Bount) for $14,060, used a straight flush to win a 150k chip pot after the dinner break and finished with 235k.

Alex "Jedi" Nepomnyaschiy (Staten Island, NY) was unofficially second in chips with a big double-up on the last hand of the night. He has 180k, while Alex Queen (Bethlehem, PA) is third with 171k.

Queen, the Heads Up Champion (Event 15, $29,098), jumped out to a huge chip lead when he won a three-way all in with pocket aces. He worked his stack to the 170-200k range where it stayed the rest of the night.
