The Rebuy tournament is part way through level 4 and there are now 65 players in the action with 10 rebuys so far. 2 players have busted but chosen not to rebuy – or perhaps they have already played their starting stack and rebuy stack… This is one of the interesting elements in this format of tournament – it’s possible for some outsized stacks to grow even during the early going in the tournament.
There are also a few players currently playing cash games who plan on jumping in to the event but prefer to do so at the end of the rebuy period (or even during the upcoming break) to shield themselves from the “exigencies” of the rebuy format. These players’ reasoning is that with rebuys available, players are able to play a little bit of a “wilder” style that they’d prefer not to face.
Here are some photos of the early action today.
