All In and Call!

"All in and call table 8!"

"All in, call, all in and call!"

This is what you hear on several occasions as you walk from one end of the room to the other.

Although $1,500 might not seem much to some - and also plenty for others - it is no means to just donk off your chips.

With hour-long levels, a ninety big blind starting stack and a potentially half a million dollar payday on the line for the winner, the forty or so people that have already been eliminated are probably regretting their strategic approach to Event 8.
