Greg FBT Mueller and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow were both still alive with 27 players remaining in the $2,500 NL event.  Several of the players were expressing concern over the sudden jumps in the blind structure.  The specifc jump in question was moving from 4k-8k with a 1k ante to 6k-12k with a 1k ante.

During a 15 minute break, The Mouth asked FBT "Why did they double up the chips?"

FBT: "To make people think they have more play when they really don't"

Mouth: "We can fix it. I know Daniel was going to try to get it fixed.  It's so stupid.  They skip so many levels."

FBT: "It's so annoying.  You want to make a play---it's the World Series.  They used to play for a bracelet until 6 AM because there was play.  Now they just want you out of here. There's more play at the beginning, but who wants to play for four hours then get busted?"

Mouth: "I want to get busted and go to the next tournament."

FBT: "No kidding..."

Mouth: "I've got 330k in chips and it's not worth anything."
