Big Bets Getting Expensive

At this point in the tournament, every hand shifts the balance of power at the table. If a big stack loses one large pot, he's down to the bottom of the counts. With the small bet at 40,000 and the big bet at 80,000, there really isn't much room for mistakes or bad luck. At the break, the shortest stack, Joe Leibman, had 1.3 big bets left while the chip leader, Dan Heimiller, only had 8.5. Everyone else has between 3 and 7.
