Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): Under The Radar

Level 11 has just started, and the blinds have increased to 800/1,600/200.  We added nine entries during that last level, which brings us up to 439.

James Anderson

You would think it would be hard to miss a player in the room who has final tabled two Big Stax events in the past.  James Anderson finished sixth in the inaugural Big Stax 1500 for $32,000, and followed that up with a runner-up finish in the Big Stax 500 the following series (falling to Mike Sandler, but taking home $33,000).

Anderson just jumped up to 410,000 after knocking out Matthew Isles (AA > 99 in a blind v. blind situation).  That stack would be the top in the room at the moment for Anderson, while Isles just handed his re-entry receipt to take his new seat.
