Drinks Are Flowing

Level 41 : 5,000,000/10,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Final Three
Final Three

The three players went to enjoy some beverages during the last break and the action has loosened up a little bit now. Players are starting to open and defend with a wide range of cards. Fish made the most notable play thus far with a check-raise bluff holding just jack-high.

"There was so much pressure earlier because I was short, but now it's not really that exciting," Fish said with a laugh. "I'm not even nervous anymore."
