Action Slowing

There hasn't been a ton of action to speak of since Alioto's elimination and Biondino's timely double-up. Here's a look at the last five hands played at the final table:

1. Chris Biondino raised pot from the button and got no action.

2. Matt Giannetti limped from the button and Jonathan Tare checked his option from the big blind. Tare checked the {J-Hearts}

flop over to Giannetti, who bet 30,000. Tare made a pot-sized raise and Giannetti folded.

3. Kevin Iacofano made it 40,000 to go from the cutoff and picked up the blinds.

4. Jason Mercier got a walk in the big blind.

5. Jonathan Tare raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Chris Biondino called from the big blind. Biondino check-folded to Tare's 80,000 bet on the {10-Spades}

flop.
