Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Our goal for the day is to play down to the final 27 players, easy enough.
The chip math says that should take at least five more levels after this one. The numbers rarely lie, but things are progressing rather more quickly than usual here in this Regional Championship. We've already gone from 66 starting players down to just 39 today, and we only need to wave goodbye to 12 more before bagging up for the night.
At the current pace, Day 2 could be over in just a couple levels, but it's really hard to imagine this rush continuing. With the chip leaders holding more than 150 big blinds, and an average stack more than 60 bigs deep, there's potentially a ton of play left in the day.
We'll have to see if this torrid pace can continue.
