The initial flurry of action surprised everyone as we lost more than 25 players in the first two levels of the day alone. However, that torrid pace has slowed to an absolute crawl over the last hour. In the last two hours, we've lost just ten players, and the pace has continued to slow.

The average chip stack sits at right around 124,000, which is more than 50 big blinds. That early run of knockouts has really juiced the field, providing everyone left with enough chips to play some poker.

Despite the early rush of optimism, it looks as though we could be in for a long night after all.
