Paulsen Back to Fifteen
Our last check on Kai Paulsen saw him down around 4,000 chips, but it seems things are turning around for him.
"Beyne! Beyne!" yelled Paulsen, running over to his sponsored teammate, Vladimir Geshkenbein. "Back to fifteen!" Paulsen rattled off the details of his little chip rush, and a walk past his stack sees him indeed sitting right at 15,000.
"Beyne" nodded with a smile, though he's sort of busy working on his own stack at the moment. Geshkenbein has chipped his way up to about 36,000 here as we approach the midpoint of Day 1a.
