Small Pots = Boring Poker

None of the remaining three players want to play big pots. With $1.5 million on the line, the action is very slow and methodical. Most of the action is pre-flop and whoever has been the most aggressive player on the flop has been taking down the pots. There have been very few hands going to the river since the break.
