Event 1 Day 1D: The Clock Is Ticking

$100 + $25 No Limit Hold’Em Deep Stack

Blinds 1K/2K Ante 200

There is under an hour left tonight and there are 34 players remaining. There are 2.44 million chips in play which makes the average stack just under 72K or 36 big blinds. We’ll probably lose close to ten more players before we’re done today.

It’s still a few days away until we even talk about making the money, but right now is the time to position yourself to do so. Players start to tighten up as they worry about making it to the second day, for there is no cash if you don’t get to Sunday. This allows the aggressive, big stacks to attack those players and add to their chip lead.

Event 1 is a very top heavy tournament in regards to how it pays out. Approximately 6% of the field will get paid which means if you do cash that even a min. cash is going to be fairly substantial. Not bad for $125 (if you only bought in once).
