Blinds Up
Blinds are now 8,000-15,000 with betting limits of 15,000-30,000. 8,000-15,000 blinds may seem strange -- 7,500-15,000 sounds more like it -- but it makes sense as the 500-denomination chips were colored up hours ago.
Speaking of that color-up, Gary Styczynski, who returned from break to find half his chips missing (they were mistakenly placed in Michael Banks' stack), is our current chip leader, with 660,000. -
