Giordano's Gigantic Turbo Stack

Event 9

Level 21 (5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entrants: 195
Players Remaining: 22Chip Average: 175,000

Jeffery Giordano holds a commanding chip lead on the remaining Event 9 field as he is the only player in the "turbo" field with double the chip average as play approaches the bubble. 

We've been stressing how short the majority of the remaining Event 9 field is and now that the blinds and antes are going up again, the stacks are getting shallower and shallower by the orbit.

One player who is more or less the exception to that rule is Jeffery Giordano (St. James, NY) who is playing over 400,000 and, by the looks of it, is the only player playing anywhere near more than 30 big blinds.

In a field where everyone else is stuck playing a short stack, allowing a player like Giordano, who has numerous cashes at Foxwoods including a podium finish in the 2013 Summer Mega Madness Challenge for $32,000, a deep stack spells trouble for everyone else in the field as he's cashed in some of the biggest tournaments Foxwoods has to offer.

Hand for hand play has just begun as we are now on the immediate bubble as there are 22 players remaining in Event 9.
