Big swings for Tonding
tonding saw major swings in his stack before eventually ending the day with a 14,625 chip stack, or 24 big blinds. In the very first level of the day, Tonding found himself on the losing end of a 240 big blind pot, where he had flopped a flush, but his opponent's set improved to a full house on the river. He was down to just 1,250 chip after that.
akia had a relatively calm day in comparison. He steadily built up his chip stack throughout the day and ended it with 20,900 chips. Meanwhile, guennilicous busted out just 3 hands before the end of the day, after losing a coin flip for all his chips.
With the play being stopped halfway through level 9, it will resume on the same level on Day 2. The blinds will be at 300/600 with an ante of 75.
