BAB2012: POKER JOE MASSIVE CHIP LEADER HEADING INTO FINAL DAY PLAY AT POMPANO PARK


Are you ready to battle ... at the beach? That's right folks, it's another thrilling edition of the Isle Casino's Battles at the Beach poker series at Pompano Park.

Anthony Spinella won the event last season but we will be crowning a new champ later today as the Final 15 players make their way back to Pompano.

"Poker Joe" Johnson is the overnight chip leader. Johnson went on a sick run late in the day (once the money bubble burst) in order to take a commanding chip lead heading into Monday's final day play.

The man who held the lead for most of the day Sunday, the king of twitter, Alex Outhred, suffered a few late hits and will need to pickup chips in early in order to get back into contention.

Always a threat in Florida poker tournaments, Darryll Fish enters final day play third in chips, yet, his stack is three times smaller than the one our chip leader has.

Mike Beasley battled and battled on Sunday - he was on life support at one point - the fact that he actually cashed in the event is a great accomplishment. Beasley has nothing to lose on Monday and shouldn't be overlooked as a possible contender.
