Big Stax 500 (Day 1C): Getting Full Before Dinner

Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Entries: 703

Alex Rocha (Brigantine, NJ)

There are some big stacks that are emerging a little earlier than usual, with two of the largest counts belonging to some familiar names. Alex Rocha (Brigantine, NJ) has made the most of his late start, already up to 250,000.

Aaron Mermelstein (Philadelphia, PA) hasn't been at his seat for the past few minutes, but he's not too worried, leaving close to 300,000 in chips occupying the empty seat.

Players are about to enter Level 9, with blinds going up to 500/1,000/100.  That will be the last level played before dinner break, which will last from 6:30-7:45pm.
