Betting Now Occurs With Lego-Hand-Like Pushes

The blinds are big now, really big. A flop bet, or first bet post flop is often 500k, one neat stack of white tournament chips, which can be sort of pushed out in front of one's stack, and then manoeuvred back in place with a sort of coffee-cup clenching motion if no call. The days of flippant chip throwing are over - this is stack-betting poker and there's been barely a light-hearted chip trick or flashy fold for over an hour.

Just now another pot went to Shulman, who'd called Negreanu's preflop button raise, checked the flop: {6-Hearts}

and then bet out 500k on the {10-Clubs}

turn.
