Secondary Table Having Structure Issues

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Several players at the secondary feature table have voiced their opinions on the structure of the tournament, and believe that the levels here on Day 3 are going up too fast.

Consequently, they believe that double levels (as was the case on Day 2) would be a better option ahead of the single 60-minute like the structure says, and like all $10,000 buy-in structures have outside of the Main Event.

David Baker recently spoke in depth to several tournament directors, and they said they would consider altering the structure for the remaining 12 players if a unanimous vote was agreed upon.

Baker approached the main feature table and told them of the decision, and that a vote would most likely occur during the upcoming break.

Feature Table Game Choices

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

On the main feature table, a full rotation of game choices have now occurred, and with it sees a wide array of game choices so far.

The table begin with Dylan Linde choosing badeucey before Ryan Miller picked pot-limit Omaha hi-lo. Joey Couden decided to play no-limit hold'em, while Chris Klodnicki picked stud.

Finishing out the rotation, Stuart Rutter chose stud hi-lo, and Jesse Martin just picked stud hi-lo regular.
