The Money March Begins

[user42991]

We are currently at 92 players, which is 11 spots out of the money. Play should slow just a bit as the money bubble looms.

Players Are Back

[user42991]

Players are back from their break. We are four out of the money.

Level: 13

Blinds: 800/1,500

Ante: 0

06-04-2008 19:43 UTC-7

We are now three places from the money and tensions are understandably very very high. Several short stacks are waiting their turn to double up, or to possibly sqeak into the money via someone else's bust-out. A couple of notable short stacks are Rolf Slotboom and Perry Friedman. Both look to be around 10,000 in chips. With betting limits of 1,500 and 3,000, players will need to make a stand soon or risk being blinded out.

Jac Arama Rebounds on Bubble

[user67765]

Jac Arama is making a huge comeback around the bubble. At one stage Arama was down to under 2,000 in chips but he now sits comfortably with about 20,000.

In a recent pot he had the last of his chips in the middle on a board of {8-Clubs}

and showed {2-Clubs}

to scoop with the nut low and trips for the high.

Aggression on the bubble is paying dividens for Arama.
