Fast Pace

[user38971]

Play is continuing today at a lightning pace compared to the final rounds yesterday evening. Bust outs and shortstacks were in the minority last night with things appearing to have flip-flopped today. We've already lost nearly half the field, and play has only been going on for two and a half hours. We reach the money once we get to 27, which at this rate, could be before dinner.
