Things Should Start to Get Interesting

In most limit tournaments, the stack size isn't as important as the number of big bets you have in your stack. Now with the betting limits of 4000/8000, most players are left with 10 big bets or fewer in their stack. Those with five or fewer big bets will start to look for hands to double up with.

Jac Arama Chip Leader

Jac Arama is the current chip leader with 201,000 in chips. During the break he stopped by to talk with PokerNews. "This is only my second limit tournament. The first time I played a limit tournament, it was here, and I made the finals. I don't play a lot of limit. I figured I would teach myself to play limit by playing a limit tournament. I've won a lot of pot limit tournaments before."

When asked about his seventh child, he told us, "Yes. And its a boy!!" (He says this while pumping his fist.) "We are going to name him Roc. Roc Arama. Isn't that a cool name?"

Indeed sir it is.
