Due to the fact that Luis "Bachy" Vazquez won the only table that was five handed yesterday, it has been ruled that he'll been starting the day with 125,000 chips instead of the 150,000 that everyone else is starting with. We asked Bachy what he thought about the decision and he didn't seem to mind.
"It's no big deal, I'm used to starting with less chips," he said. "I'm used to coming from the bottom, this is my time to make it happen."
We'll see if the 25,000-chip disadvantage affects Vazquez's play or hinders him at all as the final table plays out.
