Cramped Quarters
Turnout at this year's WSOP has been amazing. But that comes with some side effects. The noon event today was a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em that filled all of the available tables. Then the 4:00 pm deepstack tournament (not a bracelet event) continued its trend of attracting a massive field. So many players have shown up that the Razz event scheduled to being at 5:00 pm was pushed back an hour.
So what does that mean for the $10,000 PLO corner of the room? There remaining PLO tables are sandwiched in between Day 3 of the $5,000 Six-Max event and tables from today's $1,500. As tables break, they are filled in with more $1,500 players. It makes it seem like the PLO field isn't getting any smaller, but the board shows that players are actually falling quite quickly.
