Bubblicious
With the recent elimination of Aurangzeb Sheikh in 20th place, we're just three spots away from the money. While we don't expect the players in this event to "turtle" as much as you might see in a $1,000 no-limit hold'em event, we also don't expect players to get their chips in light. Look for the big stacks to really start to abuse their tables now with the money bubble now coming into sight.
And as long as we're making random observations, we note that defending champion Freddie Ellis, $50,000 Player's Championship champion Michael Mizrachi and the $50,000 Player's Championship runner-up, Vladimir Schmelev, are all on the same table. Mizrachi is leading the charge with Schmelev in third place in the counts.
