Play Has Finished For The Day

[user76023]

Play has finished for the day with 376 players remaining, not many big names made it through but Jason Mercier and Corwin Cole were two of them.

These remaining lucky few will join the survivors of Day 1b on Monday where they'll attempt to all make it into the money.

Until then, we'll see you all tomorrow from midday as we do this once more.

Bloodbath

[user76023]

Just to let you know that with us having just 390 (and probably less) still in from the initial 3,000 or so would mean we've lost a staggering 87% of the field today. That is the scale of the carnage.

No Card Draw

[user76023]

There will be no stopping of the clock with 10 minutes left today because the TDs' have decided they want both days to finish at exactly the same time.

With that in mind, there's about 7 minutes left on the clock.
