Can many builds can hold 600 poker tables.

Final table average stack:

~5600*10,000= 56,000.000 chips

56,000,000/9= 6,222,222 chips for the average stack

if the average stack is 20bb, the blinds will be 150k/300k.

This is ball park. So his stack won't even be a BB unless people fall really quickly.

i seriously think the 1A group has a massive advantage having 2 days off before day 2.... to rest, to think about their strategy for the next competition day... to that same effect, those in 1C are screwed...

He is the day one chip leader, no one else has passed him yet. We will see who starts off as the the Day2 chip leader though.

Not matter what, Lee will be in the top 5 in chips.

no doubt about that... the man is on fire... i just hope he can get used to the tighter play required for days 2 and 3... which most early chip leaders can't do... the guy is a great player and if he keeps playing solid poker i can see him going very far into the money

Well, he didn't win it, but 45th place is pretty nice.

Title: Lee Watkinson Eliminated in 45th Place ($235,390)
Log: Lee Watkinson goes all-in preflop with 9h-4d, and is called by John McGrane who holds Ks-Jh. The flop comes A-2-6 and Watkinson has a bit of a lead when a 4 hits on the turn, but when the river brings a Jack, Watkinson is eliminated. McGrane's stack is now at about $750,000.

Good for $235,000 or so, damn nice payout.

I don't understand the hand though. Blinds should still have been 10k/20k with 3ka So starting chips in the pot about 57k? Lets say 60k, that means he had to have about 345,000 Seems like he could have waited a few more hands. Maybe he had the button?
