Less than half the players who started Day 2 remain in the field. As we enter level 19, 47 players remain in contention, and now everyone will be leaving with at least $460,00. The player’s eyes are all set on the first place prize of $22,286.00 that will be awarded tomorrow night.
We reached the money bubble earlier this afternoon without much delay. Since then, we’re seen a variety of approaches to navigating through the 12 levels that will be played today. Some players have kept their foot on the gas, going for three-bets and big raises whenever possible. Others have embraced the mantra “tight is right” and are content to wait for premium hands; with 40-minute blind levels, the players can afford to be patient. While there are some gigantic stacks in the field, there is still a long way to go so everyone still left has a legitimate shot at the win.
