Bubble Time
In order to avoid a $15K mistake, players with medium and small stacks have tightened up. Several pros use this exact time to add more chips to their stacks as they pick on amateurs and online qualifiers who are afraid of busting out before the money. For the online amateurs who qualifed for a minimal investment, $15,000 is a hefty pay out. With 90 players left, we're only 10 players until the money bubble bursts.
And if anyone has busted out on near the bubble in a major tournament, they can tell you about depressing that moment feels when they leave the poker room only a few spots from cashing. Soul crushing, indeed.
