Jason Kushniruk (Detroit, MI) is the Flight E chip leader with 163k (82 bb). He got a huge double-up on the third to last hand of the night when he flopped a set of Tens against the AJ of Andy Orso (Plant City, FL).

After a flop of J-T-3,  Orso with top pair-top kicker, all the chips were in the middle and Kushniruk doubles 74k to take the lead.

“My world was ruined,” joked Orso, who was cut down to 122k after he peaked earlier in the level at 220k.

“It’s nice,” said Kushniruk, “but there’s still a lot of poker to be played. I’m not counting the money yet, but you can write I have to find a hotel room because I wasn’t sure I’d still be here.”

Here’s a look at the Flight E big stacks. A full list of chip counts will be posted later tonight.
