It Might Look Like Everyone Doing Better, But Actually...

Since all players were made to cash in their Rebuy token, the average stack instantly rose as hitherto safe-from-harm (and also useless for ammunition) chips entered the contest. This, combined with the expected swings in an Omaha tournament, make the stacks rise and fall in unpredictable ways, with some tables having a monster leader and others staying level.
