Big Stax 1500 (Day 1B): Better The Second Time Around

Level 9 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Day 1B Entries: 61

Staffan Lind (Vero Beach, FL)

Staffan Lind (Vero Beach, FL) busted his first bullet just a few minutes into Level 7 (first level back from break), but has already made good with his second.  Lind was just pushed a sizable pot, which has put him over 135,000, almost tripling the starting stack in less than an hour.

Tournament Director Tom Martucci has just announced the beginning of Level 9, with the blinds going up to 500/1,000/100.  Players were also informed that they will be going on dinner break at the end of this level, which will be (75) minutes long.

Table 53 was broken just moments before the end of Level 8, and with those players finding new tables, it's clear to see that today's field is one of the tougher you'll find.  There are 4-5 notables at every table, and even the players that aren't familiar seem like pretty quality opponents.
