Big Stax 300 (Day 1A): How The Mighty Have Fallen

Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/100)
Total Entries: 379

The common phrase heard (not only in poker) is that "it's a marathon, not a sprint."  The thought holds very true for tournament poker, especially will levels of this length and a structure so good.  A player can by no means win a tournament on Day 1, but they can surely lose it.  There are many more cliche sayings, but it unfolds every tournament.  Three of the players who were mentioned earlier in the day with monster stacks are now sitting with fractions of those amounts.  Goksel Aksoy was about to be the first player to eclipse the 200,000 mark, but he is now sitting with 34,000.  Ala Vaziri was second in chips at one point...he now has 31,000.  Tahir Ali has not fallen as much as the other two, but he's gone from 175,000 to 70,000 in the span of two levels.
