Time Stands Still
Interestingly, we made it to 15 players left with just a couple of minutes remaining in Level 16. A twenty-minute break was scheduled to follow the level, but now that break has been postponed since the tourney clock has stopped during hand-for-hand.
Not only does the tourney clock stop, but we will continue playing at the same blinds and antes until the cash bubble bursts. The short stacks -- including Daniel Negreanu -- were especially grateful to be able to continue at the current level.
Meanwhile, several players were anticipating that break, and we are seeing some bathroom dashes between hands, with some instances of players playing hands a bit more slowly than usual in order to allow their competitors a chance to return.
