Still Going Fast

We've been updating the current pace of the tournament for most of the afternoon and even though we're coming up on the eighth level of the day, we're still moving along at a very, very fast pace.

We started the day with 2,700 players as we're down to just 440 left. We reach the money at 270, which puts us 170 away from the money. We lost more than 100 players in just the first level after dinner. At this rate, we'll be under 100 by the time the night comes to a close.
