We became acquainted with Coleem Chestnut throughout Event 1, as the Brooklyn native made a deep run while dominating the chip standings for much of the day. After getting to know him a little better through PokerNews' recent "Local Spotlight" series here at the Borgata, we learned that the regular cash game player has an affinity for tournaments here in Atlantic City.

Despite being victimized by a truly bizarre call late in the night, one which cut the chip leader's stack in half despite his opponent holding just ace-high, Chestnut is back and in effect here today.

Chestnut currently owns one of the biggest stacks in the room at the moment, and after yesterday's performance, we're confident he'll be sticking around for another deep run.
