Four Levels Today
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Initially, there were five levels scheduled for today or the tournament would play down until 16 players. With only 17 players left after less than 2,5 levels, the tournament directors have changed the schedule.
Play will continue until the completion of level 21, which means one more level after the current level. That means we'll play four levels today, no matter what number of players remain.
The reason behind all this is as follows: due to today's speed of bustouts, it might take a lot longer on the final day. To prevent the final table from taking ages on Saturday, play will resume today, even if it means less than 16 players will come back tomorrow.
After the next bustout, there will be a redraw for the final two tables.
