Wow talk about terrible balancing between days. imagine if day 2b is going
to be twice the size of 2a. 

Day 2a is going to be the remaining of day 1a and 1b starting at level 5.
1989 people started those 2 days. 

Day 2b is going to be the remaining of day 1c and 1d starting at level 6.
4096 people if the 2400 rumor is true. 

Both day 2's end at level 10

Even though it looks like they are playing the same amount of poker i
think the difference in numbers and when the levels are played could have
a major effect on the result. What do you think?

Scheduling Notes  
Days 1c and 1d will be playing five levels, it was just announced by Jack
Effel. Day 2a, on Tuesday, will play five levels. Day 2b will play only
four levels. Then when the field combines on Day 3, we'll all be on Level
10. Got that? We're not sure the players in the room got that. The level
of murmuring has risen substantially during the announcement. Effel says
the reason why Day 1c and Day 1d will play five levels instead of four is
to make sure everyone can fit in the combined Day 2b field.
