AIP FTW, ATM

With just 75 players remaining, and Euros for all finishing 72nd or higher, the tournament has slowed down somewhat. In the last ten minutes, there were six tense hands, but they all played out exactly the same way. A shorter stack moved in preflop when it folded to them, and everyone passed, some thinking a while first.

Those who've made this work for them, and the stacks they pushed for:
Sean Donaldson (46,600)
Eldon Orr (38,000)
Pascal Perrault (30,000)
Atanas Gueorguiev (120,000) - although this one was over a prior raise.
