Today's Carnage

The speed of play in today's tournament has been quite staggering. The big screen currently shows 222 players remaining which means we are rapidly approaching the money. The top 162 players will cash in this event and there is a real possibility of that happening this evening.

The rate of attrition is a credit to the players as the play has been extremely aggressive today. We've seen a ton of three and four betting preflop, and players prepared to stick it in light which has made for some entertaining, fast-paced poker.
