There has apparently been some consternation (mainly from The Professor Howard Lederer) at the thought of the length of day which will inevitably ensue if the planned 15 levels are played today, with a return at 2pm.  He's estimating (and probably isn't far off) that it would take around 20 hours to reduce the field to the final table's nine, and that would leave those returning with about three hours' sleep...

So prepare for a last minute change, either to play on tonight, or to come back earlier tomorrow afternoon.

Arturo Diaz is out first and ONLY man out.
