Jason Dominici
Ryan Wood made the mistake of getting tangled up in a pot with his neighbor, Jason Dominici of Bowie, MD (they play in the same home-game). On the river, Ryan bet 130k and Jason shoved. Ryan let it go and no hands were shown, but Jason collected a huge pot, boosting his chip count to 690k and taking the chip lead.
As the clock struck 2am, the tournament clock was paused with 25 minutes remaining in level 16 and players began bagging and tagging their chips. A complete list will be posted when available but I scanned the bags for any over half a million, and here they are:
Jason Dominici 810,300
Yevgeny Gans 607,700
Vittorio Faricelli 547,100
Jeff Krosche 511,000
Antoine White 501,200
A couple of other stacks of note: Rhoda Rosenkowitz ended the day with 423,900. Phong 'VIP' Nguyen finished up with 304,000. Matt Glantz had 181,000.
Between 210 and 220 players survived and they will return at noon to continue play.
