Sick Tables

[user65508]

We're currently occupying tables 8, 9, and 10 here in the Brasilia room. Though we might not be occupying table 8 for very long, as five of the nine players there make up the shortest stacks left in the tournament.

We also feel bad for players at table 9, which currently holds the top five chip leaders. Talk about random redraw!

Chop it Up

[user65508]

Play has somewhat subsided here as the few flops we do see end up being chopped up. We're only four players away from the final eighteen, and we should be there soon at this rate.
