Torelli Flying, Matuson Falling With Style
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Alec Torelli is one of several players looking to make their tournament experience count at this stage, as with one level to go before the dinner break, he is up to a whopping 117,000. That's over double the 50,000 average stack.
Others are not faring as well. Stacy Matuson has called this tournament "A good warm up for the World Series of Poker" but she'll definitely be looking to run better in Vegas.
"I was moved to this table with 80,000. I lost 36,000 in a pot where it came 
on the flop and I called his all-in with 
and missed. A little while later, I called off 10,000 from my opponent on the turn after it came 
when I had pocket sevens."
Matuson has dropped from 80,000 to just 11,500 - 11.5 big blinds.
