Second Flight First Break

As the tournament clock ticks over, bringing level 8 to a close, the tournament director announces there will be a 30-minute break in play, as our 260 players frantically leave the tournament area for the bar or some fresh air.

Having a look round the current stacks, it seems as though we will be seeing some very big stacks taken through to Day 2 from this flight. There are already a number of stacks at or approaching the 200,000 mark. Our chipleader at the moment, though, is currently sat on 213,000.

Late registration closes at the end of the break, which will allow us to clear a little space to set up for the last flight of the day: a hyper-turbo with 10-minute blind levels starting at 1030pm!
