It's All About Small Ball... For Now

The first half-hour of heads up play was full of small pots and careful moves. Most hands didn't make it to a flop and the ones that did were usually settled either by a well-timed continuation bet or a checkdown on multiple streets. As the blinds move up again, Galfond has picked up about 250,000 so far in heads up play with about 4,350,000 in his stack, while Hourani has about 1.9 million.
