Is it me, or does it seem that the rate of play at the #WSOPMainEvent, particularly as it relates to players being knocked out is going at a much faster rate than tournament organizers expected? For instance, the money bubble was expected to burst in L17, but it burst last night.
And as they head to the dinner break on Day 4, heading to L19, they've already lost more than half the players that made the money (1286 made the money and they're already down to 550). Players are being eliminated at a faster rate than expected. #WSOPMainEvent
One interesting thing I'm interested in, as a fan, is seeing how the new big blind ante will affect play at shorter tables was the @WSOP Main Event winds down, especially during Day 7 and during the Final and Championship Tables. #WSOPMainEvent
Once the tables get to 7, 6, 5, and then fewer players, the big blind ante figured to speed up action because of the faster rate the blinds go around, but I'm really surprised at how fast the attrition rate has been with full tables. #WSOPMainEvent
Given that the money bubble burst two levels earlier than expected (L15 instead of L17), and how unexpectedly fast the attrition rate has been so far, I have a feeling that the Final Table, and especially the Championship Table (Final 3) will not be marathons. #WSOPMainEvent
