Steve Buckner

We noticed one unattended stack over the first few levels of the day but did not peek to see who was taking their time getting to the Grand Ballroom.

“Yo cuz!” Steve Buckner yelled, “My alarm didn’t go off!”

The jovial Buckner had a technical malfunction and did not get to his seat until they were ready for the first break. He had 243,000 in his bag for Day 2, lost nearly half of that before he got here, but doubled back up to 250,000 now that he can attend to his stack.

Event 1 is down to 222 players and every one of them is guaranteed $1,227. The blinds are up to 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante and the average stack is about 560,000 (28 bb).
