Play Has Begun To Slow Down

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Play has been moving at a breakneck pace all day, as we started with a field of 349 players and in seven levels that has been whittled down to only 69. However, over the past two levels, play has begun to slow down. Stacks seem to be evening out, with many players hovering around the 100,000 chip mark.

While there are several stacks that have breached the 200,000 mark, this has most certainly been the day of Bret Hruby so far. It will be interesting to see if Hruby can continue his dominance of this field and keep his commanding chip lead, or if the trend of players accumulating huge stacks only to fizzle out early will continue. Today we lost both Rick Romine, the day one chip lead, and Martin Kabrhel, who built an enormous stack early on today, only to be eliminated in 76th place.

Even though play has seemed to slow, we will continue to keep you updated with the most current information.
