102 to Go

We started the day with 2,447 entrants and we're already down to 300 players remaining. In this level alone, we lost nearly 100 players. We have only 102 to go until we reach the money, and with two hours of play still left, it's almost a certainty that it will be reached tonight.

A general trend in these tournaments is for player eliminations to come quick once the money is reached. At the pace this event has been moving, getting to the money is almost a scary thought.
