Players Tired/Unwell, But Hanging Tough

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We've only lost one player this past level, with very few all-in confrontations. There were a couple of interesting moves from Isaac Baron, but unfortunately they didn't go his way as he was eliminated in fourth place. The remaining three players are playing very snugly as we pass the 1 a.m mark local time. Maxime Villemure is clearly under the weather, but showing plenty of steely resolve at the table. Glen Chorny has a handy chip lead, and although he is visibly tired, he is going to be tough to beat. After the break the blinds will be cranked up once again, which should encourage some more action!
