Blinds Still Small, Stacks Still Large

Those early exits are, we suspect, the exception to the rule. Largely we expect the action to be pretty slow for the first few levels, rising to a crescendo of frenzied bust-outs a few hours from now when the blinds get really big.

Until then, other notable names still on roughly their 3,000 starting stack include Bill Chen, Daniel Negreanu, Hoyt Corkins, Humberto Brenes, EPT champs Arnaud Mattern and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier representing for France, and Phil Ivey.
