Sizing Up the Field

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

The tourney staff just explained the plan to the remaining players to play through Level 8 plus another 18 minutes' worth of Level 9. It was also announced there are about 830 players remaining from the 2,880 who began Day 1b, which means the average stack in the room at present is around 10,400.

We'll be making note of total players left in Event 59 over in the right-hand margin, a number that includes the 256 who survived Day 1a. Thus with 830 Day 1b players still alive, that means a total of 1,086 out of the 4,620 who originally entered the tourney are still part of the overall field.
