Level 8
Blinds 250/500/75
Players Registered: 274
For most people "a chip and a chair" is just an old saying they use when they get short in a poker tournament. For Matt Decker it is a literal description of his tournament thus far. Decker was down to his last 100 from his 20,000 starting stack and after paying the ante only had a single 25 chip left. In just one level he has run that single 25 chip back over 5,000.
Players are now on a 20 minute break as tournament officials are walking around and coloring up the green 25 chips. The board reads 274 entries for today thus far and registration is still open til the end of this break.
