Emad Tahtouh and Joe Hachem
Emad Tahtouh and Joe Hachem
We are now an hour and a half into the day, and over 70 players have been eliminated. The fast pace has been the subject of discussion around the tables.

"Welcome to the action table!" Joe Hachem told Emad Tahtouh after Tahtouh was broken to Hachem's table.

"We knocked out seven players over there," responded Tahtouh.

"We've only knocked out two players, but there's an all-in every hand."

A floor supervisor announced over the P.A. system at that exact moment that a full one-third of the field had already been eliminated in the first 90 minutes, calling players in today's field "action players."

"This is Asia, Danny," Hachem said to the floor. "Nothing slows down."

Tahtouh jokingly added, "They realize that they're not going to make the money until tomorrow, so they're trying to make it today."

135 players currently remain in the field. 56 will make the money.
