Table of Death Update
Despite having lost nearly two thirds of the field, four of our original players at the "Table of Death", Purple #365, are still alive.
Chris Vitch, Jennifer Harman, Jameson Painter and Justin Bonomo have been battling out all day and all four will see each other tomorrow. Harman and Vitch have been struggling with short stacks for the past hour or so but have survived none the less. Bonomo and Painter, on the other hand, have both better than doubled their stacks and enter tomorrow with a good shot to build on their Day 1 success, especially if they can find a softer table.
Many will tell you, including Mike Matusow, that so much of tournament success is about table draw. These three players didn't exactly draw well today but each has given themselves a chance to try it again tomorrow. Win or lose, they can be happy they made it through Day 1 against such formidable opponents.
