Final 4 Set -- Gus Hansen and Jake Cody Advance
Jun 02, '11
NOTE: Three blind levels will be played each hour, as each is just 20 minutes long. The only difference in the elite eight is that the blinds begin at 2,500-5,000.
NOTE: Day 3 Will Continue Until the Conclusion of the Elite 8 Round. The Final 4 and Championship round will take place tomorrow.
Players Remaining: 4 out of 128
Starting Stacks: 1,200,000 broken up into three chances — meaning that the players started with 400,000 and had 800,000 additional on the side that they could add on at anytime before a hand. If their additional chips were not in play when a hand begins, those chips couldn’t be used to wager with.
