Everyone hurried to their respective voting machines to check.
The machine displayed animal avatars of all 40 players, which were originally lit up, and now five avatars had a 'Eliminated' stamp on them.
They were the 'Gorilla,' 'Crocodile,' 'Tiger,' 'Leopard,' and 'Red-crowned Crane.'
In addition, three players' avatars had a 'Withdrawn' stamp, likely those who voluntarily handed over their chips to clear their debts.
The hall became restless again as many people looked at the players who had been eliminated.
Some players looked frustrated, while others appeared more relieved.
According to the game rules, 'Eliminated Players' went through two rounds of screening: first, selecting the 50% of players with the largest deviation from the standard answer, and then eliminating the five players with the fewest chips from them.
So, the people eliminated at this point were the ones with relatively fewer chips.
