Event 16 (Day 2): His Fans Want An Update

Event 16 ($150 No Limit Hold'em Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 20 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 1,021
Players Remaining: 124


Rami "Romeo Valentino" Ezra (Hallandale Beach, FL)

Joining Steve Olivier in the "rich get richer" column is Rami "Romeo Valentino" Ezra (Hallandale Beach, FL), a player who came into Day 2 with 407,000 (third overall in chips).  Ezra has had a successful first three levels of the day, and has increased his stack by over 200,000.  "Romeo" is now on top of the leaderboard with 625,000, and is looking for his second cash of the series.  Ezra reached the final table of Event 4 ($160 No Limit Hold'em), eventually finishing in ninth place for $486.  "Please take my picture," Ezra said moments ago, "there are people all over the world wanting to know how I'm doing."

Ezra has nothing to worry about at the moment, in terms of the increasing blinds and antes, but we have reached the point where the average stack is only (20) big blinds.  There are a lot of shorter stacks that need to find a spot to double, especially if they have any hopes of surviving through the money bubble.
