Start Well and (Try to) End Well

Looking back at the stacks with which the 27 players started today, nine of our final ten players were situated in the top 12 when cards first went into the air about ten-and-a-half hours ago.

Indeed, the only players who were able to overcome having a lower than average stack -- 7.215 million -- to start the day to make the final ten were Joseph Cada who was in 12th to start today, and Jordan Smith who was in 19th.

Of the top ten from the start of Day 8, Billy Kopp (who began today in 2nd place), Jamie Robbins (9th), and Ben Lamb (10th) did not make it to the final ten.
