Action has slowed down since Jon Kalmar busted out in 5th place. At four different times, the big blind got a walk... or a "ground skinner" as former WSOP tournament director Johnny Grooms would say. Perhaps the final table players are card dead or down-shifting into passive mode.

Jerry Yang has won 23 out of the first 70 hands. He is still the chipleader.
