Another Dilemma

[user67765]

Tournament officials may have another problem on their hands at the conclusion of play here this evening.

With 1,109 players surviving Day 1c, and potentially another 1,800-1,900 players surviving Day 1d, that's going to push the total number of players returning for Day 2b close to the 3,000 player mark.

With the "capacity" determined to be 2,809 here today, it's going to be interesting (or perhaps a little scary) to see what goes down on Thursday when these players are reseated for Day 2 play.

We assume that the massive numbers from yesterday and today, combined with the slower than expected rate of eliminations (due to deeper starting stacks) has contributed to this situation.
