Waiting it Out
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
With Robert Portas riding the short stack at just under 300,000 - with the average currently at 1.06 million - the six professional players surrounding him have settled in for a waiting game.
Play has ground to a halt with the pay jumps now increasingly meaningful from this point forward. The next elimination will take home 7th place money - good for $13,568 - while a berth in the official six-handed final table is worth more than $5,000 more.
