So we have only 1100 players left in tournament from day 2AB and for next day will see what number will left from 3300 players!especially when players come in prize pool!so we have two players with 600 K stack and would be interesting how they will open new day!this is slower play,because of groups every day,but soon everything will be faster!

I can not set myself where I read the information that a few players were thrown out of the tournament for a fight if anyone saw what had happened A lot of nervous at the beginning or it was a false information
The number of players has decreased more than twice ... .... this is of course very cool ..... the players probably tried to immediately get a profit and played very risky ..... and now the tournament was only lucky ones of this day .. . interesting

cool to see hachem and raymer two dudes i remember from what it seems now so long ago... well of course it wasn't a couple of years ago to be honest, nice to see a first timer doing so well, i just wonder how many times my aces held an allin preflop shove vs kk and 44, typically i run into a 4 on the river...
