2011 World Series of Poker Europe
Hold the Action
Two levels down, potentially five to go. It's getting to be that tense time of the tournament, and our remaining field has been sent off for a 20-minute break.
Scheduling Notes
The big board shows just 78 players left in the WSOPE Main Event right now, and play is progressing rather quickly through the first two levels. The bubble will be arriving shortly, though, and we'd expect to see the big slowdown soon enough. We'd be surprised if we don't get there in the next level.
We need to get down to 16 players for tomorrow's television production, so we're going to play that far tonight if possible. If we're successful, we'll return at 3:00 PM tomorrow. If not, we'll play seven full levels tonight, and the 17+ players who survive will have to return at noon instead.
There are just a couple minutes left in Level 14.
