The 900 or so remaining players have made it to the half-way mark of Day 1a. They outlasted almost three hundred players but have three more levels and six hours of play before the day is complete. At dinner break, most of the players had time to think about their game plan. The big stacks will be trying to add more ammo for their run towards glory. The short stacks are hoping to catch cards and double up in order to survive the new levels that now feature antes. And the ones who caught a wave of luck during the first part of the day are hoping they can continue their good fortune. Meanwhile, a few unfortunate souls are praying for that miracle hand which will get them back into contention. Every time a dealer screams "Seat open!" another player cringes knowing that his or her fate can be sealed on the very next hand.
