For the first hour of this level it seemed every short stack was winning their all-in moves. Well the tide has definitely turned and players are falling like flies and tables are breaking around the room. We are down to 189 players and about to go on break.

The over/under of 174 is toast, we still have a full 90 minutes to play.
