Serious Business

As we perch in the corner of the room awaiting the inevitable sequence of double-ups and exits, my initial observation is that the atmosphere is rather more serene than before, players clearly enjoying their good night's sleep, not to mention the more manageable 2pm start, and 100% focused on the issue in hand. With the money starting to rise, nobody wants to make a mistake, and it certainly tells as players begin to take more time over their decisions.

Meanwhile, the tension is at maximum volume on the two adjacent tables, the neighboring $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Freezeout being played to a conclusion with chief carrot/cucumber chopper Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson being one of those remaining 18.
