During the break, PokerNews had a chance to catch up with RunGood PoY points leader Brian Winter aka Golden Blazer, who is currently sitting around a starting stack in Day 1a.
"Well, to be honest, I've completely air-balled this stop so far, I think I'm in for around 11 bullets, but that's the way the cards fall sometimes. However, there's this new stat that I like to keep in my mind, which is 'peak stack', and those have been really good, consistently getting 3x, 4x,5x starting stack, but then losing big flips, but it's fine it happens! I'm feeling really good about my game, I'm feeling really good about my lead (approx. 600 currently), and the way that I'm playing, so yeah, I'm feeling really good."
