Big Stax 300 (Day 1A): Updated Counts Before Break

Level 9 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 260

Prince Stevens 

Players are just about half the way through Level 9, which is the time we like to update the blog followers on chip counts before dinner.  Tournament Director tom Martucci has informed us that dinner will be at 6:30pm each day, regardless of what the clock says.  Sometimes the clock is paused throughout the day for an extra few minutes, which would interfere with reservations that players may have made for dinner.  The exact stop time keeps from any scheduling conflicts, and actually may offer some extra time, as will happen today (players receive ann extra nine minutes).

Here are some updated chip counts taken from the midway point of Level 9:

Prince Stevens - 175,000
Richard Wible - 168,000
Christopher Senape - 165,000
James McKeon - 160,000
Sardor Gaziev - 140,000
Hua Wei - 125,000
Raj Desai - 120,000
Scott Blackman - 115,000
Gregory Whiting - 110,000
John Rinki - 105,000
Norman Rogers - 100,000
