Bubble Preparations

The room has undergone some noticeable cosmetic changes since the last break. About half of the Orange section has been broken, and the back two rows of Blue followed shortly thereafter. The tables have been removed from the Amazon Room for the last time this year, and there is some free floor space opening up around the perimeter of the room.
The field is breaking toward the center of the room, and there's no longer any room for spectators. The ropes have been pushed to the edges, and all of the friends and family will have to lurk around the far outskirts of the tables while we approach the money bubble. There are 94 tables left (846 players), and we are 99 eliminations away from the money. It's unlikely we'll get there before the dinner break in two hours, but it will be close.
We've rid ourselves of all those pesky black T100 chips, and the stacks are physically a little bit more manageable now. Hand-for-hand play will begin about five players shy of the bubble. There is an army of floor men and women that have been dispatched onto the floor to keep an eye on things during this crucial stage.
The cards are back in the air, and the last half of Level 15 is upon us. A little bubbly, anyone?
