Pass the 2BB

No fluctuations of any note in the first half of this level. The players remaining are making decisions quickly, and hands are fairly rapidly circulating, but the action either dies preflop with a simple raise or walk or sees a few board cards and gets no further. It's not peanuts, however, to pick up 24k in blinds if you're a short stack, and Jeff Madsen raising pot did that in the last hand (at the same time signalling a fold would be unlikely if there were any takers).
For the rest, it's Willie Tann who's come out ahead, winning about 50k from John Racener over the course of a few small hands, for example raising his bet on the turn (sb vs. bb) of a 
board to take one down, and betting 40k on the river of a 
one to win another. In that latter one Racener had bet 16k on the flop and then shut down and passed quickly to Tann's river bet. Slowly inching upwards in chips, Tann is still bringing up the rear and needs to keep going if he's going to challenge Serock and Lisandro for his second bracelet.
