Will We Hit the Money Tonight?

With 17 minutes left in the penultimate level of the night, there's a serious question now as to whether this tournament will burst the money bubble tonight. Without antes to drive the action, play has been extraordinarily slow since right after the dinner break, when 65 players returned to action. In that time, four-and-three-quarters levels of tournament poker, only 33 players have busted, a rate of about 7 per level. That rate is sure to slow even further with only four tables remaining in action and with the short stacks -- and there are plenty -- turtling up on the bubble.
There are only 5 eliminations remaining until the bubble, but the tournament will have to go hand-for-hand when we get down to 28. One way or another, it means that tomorrow is going to be a long day.
