During the break, the remaining players decided that it was time to speed things up. They realized that everyone remaining was playing very tight as they all wanted to be in the money. The tournament has been playing for nine and half hours and there is still a long road ahead so they agreed to the following “double-bubble” deal. The next two players eliminated will each receive $175, after $100 was removed from the top three prizes and $50 was removed from the fourth-place prize to provide small payouts for the next two eliminations.
Play is now about to continue with all of the players in the money! The pace will now pick up as the players are assured of a cash, and the final table is now just around the corner.
