The first level played today has not even ended and already more than 25 players have been eliminated from the Main Event. Among the eliminated players so far are many of the short-stacked players – Steven Kerr, Jason Guiley, and Shawn Martell, for example – but just as many of them have doubled or more to stay alive and possibly have a viable future in the tourney.
The pace of play will most likely begin to slow as the field approaches 100 players remaining and then turns the corner towards the money bubble.
