Short Stacks

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

If you are under a quarter of a million chips, you are a short stack. Only three stacks are that short right now and no one is in grave danger (under 100K); this is the time that the tournament really slows down. Having said that, expect several painful eliminations in the next few minutes.
