Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Just short of the halfway stage of Day 1a, Chris Moneymaker is sat on the feature table and says he's been enjoying himself.
"Not optimal. I'm sitting at 70,000 and I'm enjoying myself. I'm having a blast. It's a fun table. I've been trying to splash maybe a little bit too much.
"The numbers are great and there's a real buzz around the poker room."
