Cheri Beatty

The entry count is going up, but the players remaining number is going down. They have 90 minutes to get in the game or wait until tomorrow for the last flight of the game.

Cheri Beatty is doing her part. She eliminated a player shortly after joining the field and built her stack up to 73,000, causing Carey Rosenthal to start talking to himself. It’s a good, fun field.
