A couple of players wandered off at this point - possibly wanting to be first in line to be overcharged for drinks at the Hilton bar - but the majority knuckled down to not being eliminated at the 11th hour.
There's no runaway monster stack leading the pack as far as we can see, so it looks like Moritz Schmejkal with 200k is still up on top or near top of a field which has more than halved itself over the course of nine one-hour levels today. It seems that any stack is get-in-able regardless of structure, and the play today was aggressive and inventive right from the start.
Tomorrow it all starts again at noon local time, when another 300+ (my guess at least 450, if they can fit) players will descend upon the Hilton Metropole's huge ballroom to play Day 1b of the London EPT. 27 more are getting in through the satellite running this very minute, and a whole host of big names who took today off as a buffer between this one and the WSOPE will be taking their seats tomorrow afternoon.
