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.

Hand #11 - Anatoly Shilyuk

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3. John Conkright raises to 35,000 from the cutoff seat. The big blind, Anatoly Shilyuk, announces a raise and then pushes out a total of 95,000. Conkright stares down his opponent, and then eventually folds. Anatoly Shilyuk wins the pot.

Hand #14 - Nathan Templeton

Nathan Templeton has the button in Seat 6. Michiel Brummelhuis raises to 35,000. Anatoly Shilyuk folds before Templeton reraises to 100,000. Everyone else folds and Templeton wins the pot.

Yet another hand without a flop.

Hand #15 - Devin Porter

Devin Porter has the button in seat 1. Nathan Templeton raises to 35,000 from the cutoff seat. Devin Porter announces a raise from the button. He makes it 115,000 total. The blinds fold and it's back to Templeton who asks for a count on Porter's remaining chips. Templeton calmly shuffles his chips for roughly ten seconds before flicking his cards into the muck. Devin Porter wins the pot.

Hand #17 - Michiel Brummelhuis

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3. Action folds around to Michiel Brummelhuis in the small blind and he completes. Anatoly Shilyuk checks his big blind option and they see a flop of {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Spades}. Brummelhuis, first to act, bets 15,000 and Shilyuk wastes little time folding. Michiel Brummelhuis wins the pot.
