Event 15 (Day 1E): Still A Family Affair

Level 3 (Blinds 75/150)
Total Day 1E Entries: 87

Benjamin Chan (New York, NY)
Yesterday's Day 1C flight saw two sets of father/son combos in the tournament, as Justin/John Liberto and Jim/Jim Jr./Bucci were all active at the same time.  Today brings some brotherly love, as tournament pro Daniel Chan's brother is looking to bag chips for Day 2.

Benjamin Chan (New York, NY) does not quite have the resume that he brother does, but he does have one of the better teachers out there.  Benjamin does have over $27,000 in earnings to his name though, including a $10,000 score in a $570 NLH circuit event in Atlantic City in 2010.

Benjamin is currently hovering around the starting stack and looking to follow (or better) his brother Daniel, who bagged 51,600 in last night's Day 1D flight.
