NEWSFLASH: Your day just got longer

Remember how I said everybody was being very, very careful today? Well, that care has resulted in a lot of canceled dinner reservations. Even after working through the dinner break, more than 130 players still remain out of the 201 who started the day.

Moments ago, tournament director Mike Ward was forced to make a decision. With only ten minutes remaining in the last scheduled level, he realized that he wasn't going to bust enough people to make the tournament fit when they combine the flights on Saturday. So, that meant one of two things: Play eleven-handed on Saturday or...play another level tonight.

Although there was some dissention in the ranks, the decision came down.

We're playing an hour of level six before we break the Main Event for the night.

More later.
