Eberle Leads, Denotaristefani on the Short StackDomenico Denotaristefani

Despite the slow nature of a limit tournament, there has been some strong chip movement this afternoon in the early stages of the blind structure. Although the final ten players each started with a fresh stack of 450,000 and over 50 BBs, there is a large variance in the chip counts after two levels with Dale Eberle leading with 741,000 on the high end and Domenico Denotaristefani trailing with just 172,000 at the break.

Jordan rich took an early lead in the first level after rivering a straight with A – J to crack a flopped set of sixes for Domenico Denotaristefani. That hand put Rich out front with almost 600,000, and began Denotaristefani’s downward spiral. Denotaristefani lost another big pot to Dale Eberle in the second level after Eberle won a showdown with pocket aces. That hand left Denotaristefani with just over 250,000, and started Eberle’s rapid ascent up the leaderboard.

Denotaristefani continued to lose chips as the second level closed out, down to under 100,000 before tripling up over 180,000 with a set of queens towards the end of the level. While Denotaristefani was busy trying to hold on to the remains of his dwindling stack, Dale Eberle was busy adding to his, ending the level on top with 741,000.
