Cards Are in the Air

Shamus

Level: 2

Blinds: 12,000/24,000

Ante: 3,000

The structure for today's final table is similar to what the players followed in Rounds 1 and 2, except an extra level has been inserted here between the first two levels.

On Friday, players started with 10,000 chips and the blinds were 100/200 for Level 1 and 150/300 (with a 25 ante) for Level 2.

On Saturday, players started with 100,000 chips and the blinds were 1,000/2,000 (with a 300 ante) for Level 1 and 1,500/3,000 (with a 400 ante) for Level 2.

Today, players started with 1,000,000 chips. For Level 1, blinds were 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante. Now, for Level 2, blinds will be 12,000/24,000 with a 3,000 ante. And then Level 3 will resemble (relatively speaking) what we had at Level 2 on Fri. and Sat., with blinds of 15,000/30,000 and an ante of 4,000.

Updated Chip Counts

Shamus

Looks like Mueller had chipped up a bit more than we realized with all of those stolen pots during Level 1. Despite losing that last hand to West, he maintains a healthy chip lead at present.

Here are the latest estimates:

Greg Mueller -- 1,610,000
Leo Wolpert -- 1,040,000
Thomas Roupe -- 950,000
Timothy West -- 850,000
Sirous Jamshidi -- 830,000
Philip Tom -- 720,000
