A Note on Structure
The players that have reached this third and final round of the shootout have each been given a stack of 450,000. With the initial limits at 6,000 and 12,000, that translates to a stack of 37.5 big bets -- not as deep as the starting stack of many of the fixed-limit events here at the WSOP, but still incredibly deep. We don't expect the first elimination will occur for a few hours.
