Big Stacks in Control
The play has been nice and steady since hitting the money. The bigger stacks at each table seem to be driving the action and winning most of their confrontations with the shorter stacks to send them to the rail. We're down to under 40 players left in the field and there's a bust out every couple of minutes.
Another reason things are going this way is that all the big stacks are spread out around the tournament room, so they can't really bother one another. -
