Action Slows Down

With around ten players to lose before the bubble bursts sending one last player home empty handed a lot more players are taking their time to make decisions preflop. It is prevalent on almost every table and all relatively good natured. Knowing what is at risk no one is complaining or calling out other players for the tactic, yet.

There does seem to be a limit though, with a two minutes stall seemingly ok, more than that and the clock could be called as was the case recently where Patrice Biton had opened for 11,000 and faced a decision for his tournament life when Julien Duveau moved all in.

The minutes ticked by and the clock was called. With the ten second countdown just about to begin Biton mucked his cards.
