Relative Calm After Early Storm

Shamus

After that early flurry that saw three eliminations in rapid succession, our three remaining players appear to have settled down somewhat with their still quite deep stacks. The crowd in the Milwaukee's Best Light No Limit Lounge has also grown quieter as they watch the trio trade chips back and forth.

One gets the sense, though, that we are only a raise and reraise away from another all-in confrontation.

Joe Commisso has pushed back out in front with 3.55 million, Richard Lykander has 2.49 million, and Edward Ochana has slipped to 2.02 million.
