    81 left?

    Probably another 4 hours but because of the blind structures, it very well can go on for another 8 hours. I wonder if they allow a day break?

    15 minutes after 15 hours of 'play' remember Gus, you gotta add up all the breaks they have had already onto the running time. They will get their 15 minute break :)

    if they lucky, maybe they will survive till the next 15 mins break...IF they lucky...

    My doc friend just saying : between age 18-28 you "loosing " about 1-2 years from your life if you do this

    between 28-38 you loosing 3-5 years
    over 38 you can have a heart attack on the spot...

    it will probably be the next break that is 15 mins.
    think about it:
    they have already had one 15 min and one 30 min break = 45 mins
    + eight 5 min breaks in the first 10 hours of 'play' = 40 mins
    another four 5 min breaks this side of the 30 min break = 20 mins
    so thats 1 hour 45 of scheduled breaks to add onto the running time.
    Also gotta allow for a minute or two every playing hour for hands on ALL tables to be complete before the breaks actually start.
    Add that all up and you're looking at about 2 hours and 12 minutes (which is the amount of time the scheduled breaks are behind the total tournament duration).
    I haven't played for this long before either, but you start to notice it on any deep run you make on a regular freezeout :).

    That is why I suck at online poker. I have no stamina. I suck at turbos bc it is push fold. I will stick to sngs and b&m. GL everyone in your WCOOP dreams.

    20+ hours and they're still going at it. This has to be a record for the longest online tournement. That is until the WCOOP Main Event.
