Play Has Slowed to a Crawl At Seniors Championship

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We just witnessed a hand that typifies the current play here at the Seniors Championship. After a raise to 32,000 in front of him, a player pushed all-in for his stack of around 200,000. The raiser went into the tank but eventually folded his {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} face up.

The player who shoved all-in saw the hand and showed his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} to the table while dragging the chips. While players of the current generation may have tried to extract maximum value in a situation like this, the seniors who have survived to this point simply want the hand to end.

After a flurry of bustouts following the money bubble bursting, eliminations have slowed to a crawl as the remaining players struggle to assure themselves a seat during the final day of play.
