Big Stax 500 (Day 1C): Escalating

Level 8 is about to begin, with blinds going up to 400/800/100 (567 total entries).  The trend today is multiple bullets, as players know that there is no tomorrow (for trying to bag chips).  Players do have the option to go the Ryan Eriquezzo route, and buy-in on Monday morning (Day 2) with eight big blinds.  Erriquezzo went on to take his six big blinds in the Big Stax 300 and turn that into a Day 3 finish in 17th place.
