WSOP 2008, Part 4 (7/1)
It is 2:30 am here in Vegas. Just wanted to give you east-coast early-birds an update on The Venetian Deepstack Tournament. Entry fee was $340 and a record 738 people entered. This was the largest deepstack tournament The Venetian has ever hosted. At 2:00am, they suspended play for the night. There are 22 people left (yes, I am one of them). Blinds are at 10,000/20,000 with a 4,000 ante. Average chipstack is about 400,000. I have 251,000. I have won at least $1068. The next cut is at 18 people - where the pay goes up to about $1500.
We resume play tomorrow at 4pm. I will write more when I wake up. I am mentally exhausted after 14 hours of play.
