Since late registration period was closed, the number of remaining players has been decreasing at quite a fast pace. We are down to 179 players left and it keeps going down. With a level and a half left today, smaller stacks are trying to build up. Ambrose Ng’s attempt to double up failed when Saya Ono called his all-in, about 1.7M, before the flop. They both had pocket pairs and none of them hit the board, so Ono’s higher pair allowed her to collect all of Ng’s chips.
