The final nine players are in action here in the Signature Room on the Live Stream stage, but the stream will not begin until 2 p.m. local time — if at least one player has been eliminated, since the stream set up is for a maximum of eight players. Of course there will also be a half-hour delay before the stream is online.
If they are down to at least eight players by 1:30 p.m., there will be a half-hour pause in the action to prepare for the stream.
Meanwhile, cards are in the air!
