Schleck's Son Needs a New Saxophone
Jamie Schleck (Metuchen, NJ) came to Borgata to have fun, win some bounties and leave early. What he didn't expect is to have the chip lead and a permission slip to try and win the tournament.
"I have no business having these chips," says Schleck who's missing his 10-year-old son's winter concert to keep playing. "I was trying to leave at 4:30 and offered a blue light special."
Schleck moved all in six times in a row "dark" and now has more than 300k, all without looking at his cards.
"This is crazy," says Rich Brancato (Linhurst, NJ) who was the first to double-up Schleck's 50k. "He stayed true to his word."
The biggest pot is when a player with 210k moved all in ahead of Schleck who had the player covered. Schleck called with J 7 against AK and hit a jack to earn one of his eleven $100 bounty chip.
When Schleck realized he was in position to make a deep run he made the tough call to his son Luke .
"I told him I would definitely buy him a new saxophone if I win this thing."
Schleck has more than 150 bb as 160 players remain with an average stack of 33 bb with blinds at 1k/2k/300 ante.
As the concert starts at 7 pm Schleck doesn't have to feel bad and can focus on playing poker as his wife Pam is recording the concert.
And a big payday for Schleck will make up for missing it and will be sweet music for the whole family.
