Event 1 (Day 2): Price Of Poker Getting High

Event 1 ($150 Monster Stack NLH)
Level 33 (Blinds 100,000/200,000/30,000)
Total Entries: 1,142
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 3,600,000 (15 BB)

The play has slowed down dramatically with eight players remaining, but as each moment passes, the stacks sizes become shallower and shallower.  David Albertson still leads the way with over 5,000,000 in chips, and has been very active since returning from break.  The shot stacks at the final table are Dave Miller (1,400,000) and Washington Gavilanis (1,300,000).  Both players have less than ten big blinds in front of them, so one would expect to see those stacks in the middle over the course of the next level or so (with blinds going up in ten minutes to 125,000/250,000).
