Chips A-Flyin'
Level 6
: 200/400, 75 ante
The action continues to be quick-paced here in Sao Paulo. With 15 minutes to go until the end of Level 6 (and the dinner break), one-third of the field has already been eliminated. To put that in perspective, a player who bought in at the start of the tournament and didn't play a single hand yet would still have approximately 10,000 chips.
The average stack is now approximately 30,000 -- 75 big blinds -- though more giants continue to emerge. One new name in our chip counts is David Etter, who has built himself up to 90,000 in chips.
