Lemke Doing Post Play Interviews
Brian Lemke (Norristown, PA) bags 272,575 to easily win the Day 1B $10,000 bonus and take the overall chip lead.
Lemke says he ran well in in the last hour of the night when he made a gutsy call with queen high on an AAKKx board to win a 50k pot. That was followed by another big hand when he turned a straight against his opponents flopped set of 9s.
Only one other player cracked the 200k chip mark as Kyle Bunker finished at 201,000 in a distant second place. This a much different result than Day 1A when chip leader Robert Boyko (Yonkers, NY) only bagged 173k and earned the bonus by just 5k.
Lemke, who lives in suburban Philadelphia, can be found at Borgata for the big events and added to his resume when he won a $560 event in April's Borgata Spring Poker Open for $111,000. He has $1.1 million in career tournament earnings, including a 2009 WSOP bracelet.
Lemke is on top of the 625 remaining players as play resumes with Day 2, Tuesday at 12 pm.
