Gardenhire Gains The Chip Lead
Justin Gardenhire was one of the more interesting stacks to keep an eye on yesterday. He jumped out to a big chip lead early on, then slowly trickled down for most of the day, until he secured a big double up towards the end of the day when his kings held against his opponent's ace jack.
Well we didn't see him today until our last walk through, and we noticed that he has amassed a mountain of chips, including four of the orange T5,000 chips that are now in play, the most we have seen in the field. By our estimation, he has about 135,000, which is the chip lead right now with 60 players left. We will be sure to keep an eye on his progress as the day goes on.
