Squeaky-Tight

[user25067]
[user25067]
Over two hours into nine-handed play, we still have yet to lose a player. The table has tightened up significantly, with no one thus far willing to make a move or take a big risk. Even three-betting machine Jason Mercier has been rather subdued, managing his big stack well and choosing his spots wisely. Perhaps the tightest player at the table, though has been the short stack, Fintan Gavin, who has made several open-shoves, but received no action, his opponents giving him the respect that his snug play has earned.

Here's how the chip counts are stacking up at the moment. You'll notice that things have evened out quite a bit, with most of the field bunched together around the 700,000-800,000 range:

Jason Mercier 1,054,000
Dren Ukella 862,000
Mikael Lundell 839,000
Martin Nielsen 784,000
Davidi Kitai 709,000
Sebastian Ruthenberg 670,000
Daniele Mazzia 570,000
Samuel Chartier 472,000
Fintan Gavin 370,000
