Introduction to the Tournament of Champions
The price of poker has gone up in the 2007 APPT Tournament of Champions in Sydney, and we’ve reached the final “1-hour” blind level. The blinds are now at 1000/2000, and all future blind levels will reduce to a half hour duration, and the action is sure to heat up! Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem has maintained the chip lead courtesy of his early double-up, and plenty of raising. Greg Raymer and Grant Levy have both also been very active, and Levy has made a nice charge considering he earlier laid down the best hand, and should have tripled up!
