Do the Tighten Up

With the money bubble drawing ever closer, the atmosphere and pace of the tournament has changed considerably. Early in the day, it was commonplace for pots to be hotly contested between three or more players. In this latest level though, things have tightened up a great deal.

Very few hands are being played all the way to the river, or even the turn. Even fewer involve more than two players. The vast majority of the hands played right now are being won with a pre-flop raise or a single bet on the flop. With just six players left to bust before the money hits, all indications are that it might be a while before we get there.
