While the first few levels of the day were filled with a flurry of constant eliminations, the field has now dipped below 90 players and it seems that play is starting to finally slow down.
With the blinds at 1,500/3,000/500 and the average stack at 107,182, many of the players are now deep stacked and have a little more maneuverability during the hands. The action over the next few levels should be exciting to watch!
