Pace of Play

As expected, the action is very tight here in the early stages of the first level. One thing that is a bit surprising, however, is the amount of aggression we are seeing already. A large percentage of the pots are being won with a preflop reraise or a single large bet on the flop. Very few hands are being limped preflop or played all the way to the river. As play progresses, it will be interesting to see how the mood and pace of the tournament changes thoughout the course of the day.
