What's a Flop?

[user22113]

Five hands have passed since a flop has been shown. Lots of the players are taking their time to think through their actions before committing to a hand. Lots of preflop raises, even more preflop folds.

Players Are Playing Tighter Than Normal

[user22113]

Lack of hands to report is evidence of how tight the play has become. Since the game switches between Limit and NL every 30 minutes, most of the play tends to tighten up during the NL round, as all of the players seem to want to make the final table. Hardly any money has exchanged hands and chip stacks remain roughly the same.

The Redraw Has Happened

[user22113]

We are now down to ten players and the tournament staff has decided to do a redraw and assigned all ten players to one table. They will eliminate one player and call it a night.
