Slow Start
We are 25 hands into this match and after the big hand between Scott Ball and Xuan Liu nothing much has happened.
Jason Mercier and Xuan Liu chopped a pot where they both made a straight.
Byron Kaverman just won a small hand with 
versus the 
of Kitty Kuo. Kaverman fired on the 
flop and the 
turn and Kuo gave up.
Although this start is rather slow, the action will develop quickly, because of the 8-minute levels. Several players are getting short stacked now.
