Event 11 - Best poker playing athlete in world lays claim to chip lead

$350 + $50 Deepest Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 10K/20K Antes 3K

Players are now on a 15 minute break and the blinds will be 10K/20K with a 3K ante when they return. The runaway chip leader with 1.55 million is Andrew Klein (Ocean, NJ) who previously finished 3rd at a Borgata Poker Open event. In his exit interview there, Klein told the blog that he was the best poker playing athlete in the world and would take on all comers. For now, he'll have to prove that he's the best poker player left in this tournament if he wants to take home the $41,808 first place prize.
