Shallow Stacks for Deep Buy-In?

The always-outspoken Daniel Negreanu wandered over to our table between hands and commented about how disappointed he was in the structure of this event. And while a pro voicing displeasure with a tournament structure is certainly nothing new, Negreanu may have a point here.

At the moment, the average stack is about 1 million in chips, which amounts to a little over 40 big blinds. It goes a long way toward explaining why a lot of the hands we've reported thus far are pre-flop three-bet shoves and all-ins on the flop. There simply isn't a ton of room for play right now.
