Level 17 is underway and the Event 67 field is only six bustouts away from claiming the first piece of the $3,300,000 prize pool. Once the field has a few more eliminations, hand-for-hand play will officially be in session. With every decision all the more critical, it will be interesting to see how the larger and shorter stacks alike adjust to the new gaming environment. As the money bubble nears, the Venetian Poker Room blog will have all the action as the first payout of Day 2 is on the horizon.
