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. At most. That means we've lost nearly 1,000 players over the last six hours. Or between two and three players per minute for the last six and a half hours.
