Here's The Plan...
As the players took their seats for the final table, the tournament director announced to the players that in order to prevent this final table from going until 8am (a realistic possibility), that they would play until we lost one more player, then we would stop, bag, tag and return to play it out tomorrow.
However, the players were not particularly thrilled by this with Carlos Mortensen and Richard Ashby particularly vocal. They insisted that the "blinds were huge" and that it was a three-day tournament, so it should be played out tonight.
Nick Shulman commented that he didn't sleep last night (we won't question his preparation for day three of a WSOP event!) and wouldn't mind going home and coming back tomorrow.
The decision was then put to the players, however if they couldn't agree to a unanimous decision, then play would stop for the night at eight players.
It appeared that no-one was game to speak up against the pack, and so they all agreed to play it out! Grab your sleeping bags folks!
After a quick pause, the players are now back at the table and the cards are back in the air. We'll be playing until we lose one more player, then taking a dinner break, before moving over to the ESPN feature table to play it out!
