Event 63: $600 No-Limit Hold’em $300,000 Guarantee
Level 30
Blinds: 50,000/100,000/10,000
Total Entrants: 894
Players Remaining: 9
Chip Average: 1,490,000
The new set of blinds now puts the nine-handed average stack at only 15 big blinds. Christopher Franco, the current chip leader, only has 24 big blinds, meaning there should be quite a bit of all-in action on the immediate horizon.
Before the end of the last level, Franco opened the cutoff to 160,000 and was three-bet by Kristy Arnett on the button to 435,000. Franco responded with an all-in shove and Arnett relented.
Players haven’t been shy about putting their chips at risk and a few eliminations could result from that this level. A look at the updated counts is below.
- Vlad Tkachuk – 2,175,000
- Karo Galstyan – 1,975,000
