We've managed to lose a few of the shortstacks thus far, but for now things have slowed down a tad. With the blind structures getting bigger, players seem to be playing even tighter; being careful not to make mistakes.

There may not be a lot of big names in the field besides Erik Seidel, but the remaining two tables have been surrounded for the past hour or two with a very healthy crowd. Despite having the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event just down the hall, the crowd here is honed in on this pot-limit action.
