The Pace of Play

We are just a little over three hours into the second day of play, and there has been plenty of action so far. At least a few times per minute, we hear a dealer yell, "All in and call!" or "Seat open!" We have lost 340 players since the start of the day, averaging over 100 bust-outs per hour. If the trend continues, and there's no reason it shouldn't, we'll have about half of our players remaining by the time dinner rolls around in another three hours.
