Players Feeling Each Other Out

[user42991]

For the most part, players are feeling each other out right now. While it is true that they have played together the last two days, we are now at the end-game stage of the tournament, and players are seeing where they stand at their tables in regard to being able to dictate the action. There haven't been many huge pots yet. The larger pots are right now tending to be in Omaha-8, but most have been chopped so far.
