Players Circling Each Other

[user75032]

Ten hands into this final table, it has become quite evident that the players are wary of each other. As opposed to the frenetic pace of play on Day 1 and Day 2, players seem more content to sit back on their stacks and wait for premium hands before getting involved. We'll see what happens once the first big pot is pushed by the dealer.
