Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha Staying Alive

With just a few qualifiers still in the running for the €100,000 Sole Survivor package, the huge last-longer bets amongst them might be having an effect on their play. Just now Marcel Koch made a raise out of the big blind preflop against Graham Masters (both in the running for Sole Survivor), but passed when Masters put him in, having bet a good chunk of his stack. Paul Zimbler mentioned that the Survivor thing might have had something to do with it, with the carefree chuckle of someone who isn't at all bothered about such things, not being eligible.
