Big Stax 300 (Day 1C): Quietest Table In Town

Level 13 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/300)
Total Entries (Combined): 1,797

The Big Stax Series had always been held in the clubhouse room, with tournaments moving into the main poker room on Day 2/Day 3.  With the removal of the electronic blackjack machines and smoking prohibited in the room for the duration of the series, all of the Big Stax VII events are in the main poker room.  The new tournament area boasts a large number of tables, some in spots where those defunct machines used to lie.

In the back corner of the room sits Table 63, seemingly far away from the rest of field.  The area doesn't have much (if any) foot traffic around it, and seems a pretty tranquil spot.  The table houses a handful of notables, some of which have been there the entire day.  Here are some counts from what is now termed the "island table:"

Seat 1. Ilya Ekshtut - 38,000
Seat 2. Meghan Millburn - 140,000
Seat 3. Trevor Savage - 72,000
Seat 4. Mike Linster - 60,000
Seat 5. Sachin Ramrakhani - 35,000
