As players continue to drop, those remaining are being shuffled back and forth between the two tables in play in order to keep them balanced. While each table is now playing six-handed, they are anything but balanced.
Table 1 holds the top three chip stacks in the room and five of the top six. Table 4 in the back corner is full of shorties, and at least two of them are in desperate need of a double up.
Nenad Medic was the first to notice the chip discrepancy, The Serb one of those lingering in the bottom half of the pack. He glanced at his chips, then the chips of Huck Seed across the table. "You're the only one with above-average chips," he said.
With the chip average sitting at 603,333, Huckleberry is indeed just in the top half. Still, in comparison to the rest of his table, he is far and away the top dog.
"I know. I feel like I have a mountain of chips," Seed replied with a smirk.

We weren't lying when we called this the Level of the Double-Up. Most recently it was Jonathan Little's turn. He opened preflop for 35,000 before small blind Layne Flack re-raised to 150,000. Little seemed to know what was coming next.
"I'm all in," he said with a sigh.
"I call," Flack said in the same tone.
Little:
Flack:
Flack took a bigger lead on the flop by making a set of jacks, .
"Nice hand," said Little. The turn then popped off to give Little a Broadway straight.
"Nice hand," Flack repeated. The river did not pair the board, falling instead the . Flack had to pay 348,000 total chips to Little.
"The ol' 'nice hand' trick," said Steven Fung to Little with a laugh. "He tried to do it right back to you."
"The difference is I really thought I was going to lose," Little replied. Not this time.
