As we approach the end of level 11 in Event #6, the 6-Max Bounty, roughly a third of the starting field remains in contention. The field is down to eight tables and the stacks are deep at this stage.
The chip average provides over 35 big blinds, opening lots of possibilities for creative lines. Although some players in the field are clearly bounty hunting, the prevailing strategy appears to be one of relative caution, with many players checking at least one street in order to control the size of the pots. But not everyone in the field has taken this conservative approach, some players are happy to play big pots and capture bounty chips; our chip leader, Diego Aguilar, holds a commanding lead with more than 300,000 in chips.
