Event 8: Chip Lead Too Close to Call

$400 + $50 Deep Stack NL            

Mike Ord (Elkridge, MD) busted out in 20th place ($1,320) just before the end of the level.

The final 19 headed out for a break, so I scoped out the stacks.  In a strange coincidence, three players are in the 1.6 million range:  Ian Palomo, Carless Boatwright, and Matt Mazzeo.  The chip lead is too close to call at this point.

After the top three comes Prahlad Deshpande (1.27 million) and Matt Kalinowski (1.2 million).

These five players are the only ones over 1 million in chips.

With 19 remaining, the average stack is ~814k.

Play has resumed with blinds of 20k/40k and 4k antes.
