A Good Target for End of Flight? 200,000
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
The Event Center continues to fill as players arrive and take their seats. 10 AM is an early starting hour for poker players, but with more than 200 already in action, they're undeterred and arriving with one goal in mind — get chips in a bag at the end of Level 16.
Through the first four levels, about 116 players have succeeded in doing just that and the average stack for those players is just over 200,000 chips. That makes a good target for players looking to move on to Day 2, which will start with Level 17 and blinds of 3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 big blind ante. An average stack of 200,000 would give them roughly 33 big blinds at the start of play Friday.
