Event 9
Level 9 (300/600/100)Total Entrants: 195
Players Remaining: 154
The late registration and re-entry period has come and gone very quickly here in Event 9, as it's barely the mid-afternoon and the field has already been frozen at 195 players.
Despite a "quick" late registration period, the original $20,000 guarantee put on this event has already been crushed as it's been more than doubled.
Of those 195 that started the day, there are currently 154 players remaining and while it is a little early to start talking about stack sizes, players with the average stack are just working close to 45 big blinds, with that number only going down through the next few levels, that will continue to be 20 minutes in length until Level 16 finally gives players a reprieve, increasing to 30 minutes in length.
It should be an interesting next few levels as players get shorter stacked faster here in this semi-turbo event and look to more or less just "survive" until the longer levels kick in and "order" is restored.
