There are 50 players still alive in Day 1c of The $250 Frenzy, and one 30-minute level to go before players bag up their chips to return for Day 2.
Starting flights of tournaments at any buy-in level are usually fairly similar in the sense that after a significant passage of play, stack sizes tend to be relatively smoothly distributed. Between level 10 and the beginning of level 14, however, we saw two players with clearly dominant stacks (Vital Cleary and Alexander Villa) and many of the other leaders from earlier in the day slipped back to the pack. At this point, there is a clear 100K drop-off from Alexander in 2nd place and the 3rd place stack, held by Jason Conforti. It remains to be seen if the chip distribution smoothes out during this last level.
