Short Stack Update
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Some of the players whose aggressive early level play often builds them tournament-winning stacks have not had their style pay off on this Day 1b. Praz Bansi has been under 10,000 for quite a while, it seems (although if anyone could win the Grinder of the Day Award multiple times it's him). Similarly Sebastian Ruthenberg, who started off so well, now has just 18,500. He still appears to be playing every hand. Finally ElkY is under 20,000 too, but in the time it takes to traverse the tournament floor that could all have changed, one way or the other...
Liv Boeree, meanwhile, is out. "Rivered twice and coolered on another," was her gleaned Twitter report.
