Level 9 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 254
The tournament supervisor has just announced the beginning of Level 9, with blinds going up to 500/1,000/100. This is be the last level played before players go on an extended (75) minute break for dinner. Today's numbers have already exceeded expectation, as Director Of Poker Operations Bill Entenman predicted a high number of 250 total entries for this additional starting day.
On one of the final hands of Level 8, Scott Blackman (Egg Harbor Township, NJ) sent an opponent away from the table, scooping up a pot worth close to 80,000. The hand was already over and the dealer was counting down his opponent's chips, but Scott held A♦ Q♥ on a board of Q♦ Q♠ 3♦ 6♥ K♣ for the win. The pot would push Blackman above 100,000, as the defending Big Stax 300 champion looks to bag chips on Day 1A.
