Let's Play Poker

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Players are back in their seats and Level 7 has begun.

As mentioned earlier, the plan tonight will be to play five more one-hour levels or until just 15% of the original starting field for this first of the two Day 1s remains. We started with 1,740, which means once the field gets down to 261 we'll be at the 15% mark — a little over 200 eliminations away.

Incidentally, we know that as of right now more than 1,100 have already signed up for Thursday's Day 1b, a number that is sure to grow considerably between now and tomorrow afternoon.
