Play Moving Incredibly Slow

[user38971]

We were at 25 players remaining just a bit ago, when all of a sudden a spurt of players were eliminated in rapid fashion, dropping us down to just 20. However, since then, we've seen several double-ups but few eliminations. Play has slowed as players are trying to reach that coveted final table.

Jason Sanders Eliminates Aaron Been

[user37786]

Sanders raised to 45,000 and Been moved in for his last 280,000 from the small blind. Sanders made the call and his pocket tens led Been's pocket fives. It was perhaps a bit cruel that both players hit sets on the {5-Diamonds}
