With the fairly fast structure in this event, players are hitting the rail left and right. Unlike most events where we will know many more names in the field, this event is hard to track with who busts and that's why we are displaying that there is still nearly all of the field left. Actually, the field is down to under 400 players already and it's only the fourth level of play. Just keep that in mind and bear with us. As the day moves on, we're picking up more and more names to track.
