Finally, a Slow Down!

It took a day and a half, by the pace of the tournament has finally started to slow down. In the 80 minutes since we came back from dinner we've only lost 11 players, or 20% of the remaining field. That may seem like a lot, but when you consider that this tournament burst the money bubble late last night on Day 1, it seems pokey by comparison. Part of it is no doubt a function of evenly spread chips; part of it is that as we get deeper into the money the stakes go up; and part of is (no doubt) that the six-handed players that have survived this long may be less prone to shove all the chips in pre-flop than the players who busted out already.
Whatever the reason, with 7 tables left we're definitely slowing down. Will we get down to a final table in the next four-and-a-half levels? Time will tell.
