Chip Counts

Shamus

Someone in the crowd just asked the announcer for chip counts. The players' stacks are all a bit disorganized, and so he's having a bit of difficulty estimating them.

We've been doing some quick math as we go and estimating the chip counts here, so check that page for the latest. It appears at the moment both Sirous Jamshidi and Leo Wolpert are close to the lead with approximately 1,250,000 each. Tim West is currently the short stack.

We're about to take a break, so we'll count them up again before we start the next level.
