We've just received the prize pool, and that's our cue to find out how many players are left. We were a bit surprised when we did a table count to find 88 tables left in play for 792 players.

"I was calling him," she said about the other player in the hand. "One time?" she asked for the show. Sluzinski obliged her by flashing the that he'd five-bet with. Weisner said she had two sixes.
