Oh to Be Queen for a Day
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
There are now just 19 tables left in this six-handed tournament, meaning 114 players have a chip and a chair.
The average stack at this point in the proceedings stands at 65,400, and we've spotted a few big stacks floating around out there, including Alex Queen, a young tourney grinder who has already accumulated more than $1 million in live earnings.
Queen's biggest score to date came right here at the Borgata, when he took down top honors at the 2010 Spring Poker Open's $3,200 buy-in Main Event for a $355,535 payday. That six-figure score was no fluke either, as Queen went on to final table a $1,500 NLHE event at the 2011 World Series of Poker - finishing 6th for $111,341 - on his way to the coveted million dollar earning mark.
