You Can Almost Smell the Cash...

Our big screen says 819 players remaining in the field which incredibly puts us within 171 players of the money. After starting today with 2,044 players we've lost around 60% of the field in five short levels of play! That's a rate of two players eliminated every minute!

There were whispers that we would continue tonight until the money is reached but that won't be the case. This tournament has plenty of slack in the schedule to remain on target without too many unnecessary late nights. Many short stacks are going to have a nervous night's sleep tonight!
