Digging In
Saturday, October 10, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
The four players left in the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic seem prepared to turn this into a war of attrition. The biggest hand of the last hour came when Brandon Hall doubled up with Queens to Chase Steely’s pocket Tens. That gave Hall a 1.4 million stack and and bunched the players together even more. Here are the chip counts as we go on a break:
Robert Mizrachi – 2,300,000
Eric Baldwin – 2,250,000
Brandon Hall – 1,450,000
Chase Steely – 1,400,000
While we’re on break a few logistical issues have to be addressed–namely, the table has to be moved under the roof a few feet so Eric Baldwin and Brandon Hall don’t get broiled alive by the setting sun. Though imminent sunstroke would probably help spur the action Tournament Director Matt Savage doesn’t seem to think that’s a good idea so they’ll inch the table under Gilligan’s roof before play resumes.
