A Bit Unusual

[user40108]

Typically the level or two after the dinner break in a major tournament is packed with action. No one really knows if it's the food, or the fresh air, or what exactly happens in that hour that sends the chips flying. Currently however, that phenomenon is eerily absent from this particular level. Players seem very reluctant to get involved in big pots and are playing and a rather lethargic pace. Being five spots from the money is obviously a huge factor, but that is typically when the aggressive players start throwing the chips around. Needless to say, with blinds constantly increasing, it will just be a matter of time until things pick up.
