Fischer raises to 60,000 utg, and Filtz announces all in from the small blind, pushing his total 683,000 stack into the middle. With his eyes focused on the felt and not a muscle twitching, he looks like he might be a monk praying. He's not, though.
Meanwhile Fischer is threading chips with his right hand, his left propping up his head. He's looking all around and is smiling quietly to himself. He folds, and Filtz wins the pot.
Dario re-checks his cards from the small blind before announcing a raise of 81,000. I think that extra 1,000 made the difference, as Seth Fischer quickly passed.
After being rather quiet for a little while, Minieri is now back to raising at every opportunity - he makes it 81,000 from the button. No one wants to tangle with him at this point, and he takes down the blinds and antes uncontested.
As you can see from the hands reported, we're struggling for action, even Dario Minieri is willing to play hands less aggressively than usual. Perhaps it's the prospect of a shiny gold bracelet, maybe it's the money, or could it be mere fatigue, but whatever it is, the remaining four seem to have slowed down the pace and adopted a more cautious approach.
Meanwhile, there is very little in the way of table talk or banter to report, which is odd considering the laughs that were had yesterday.
