Say that ten times, fast!
There is still one break and two levels to play after this one – which is about half way finished – and Day 1b will be in the books. At this point in a Day 1 some people are really just hoping to find a spot to double – and then double again – while others are working hard to chip up and build one of the massive stacks that you always see at the end of a Day 1.
Blinds are currently 600/1,200/a200 and the jumps from level to level start to seem more significant – and so do pot sizes in general. The chip average at the moment is just under the 65K mark – but by the end of these upcoming two levels it will have jumped to over 100K. So things are going to start to move quickly.
Before the end of the night we’re going to get some photos of the more massive stacks in the room and then, about an hour after the action closes tonight we’ll post full chip counts for Day 1b.
And then it all starts again tomorrow at noon!
