A Shortening Field

[user75032]

The field in this six-handed event continues to narrow at a rapid rate. Players seem nonplussed about getting their cards in the middle in a sixty-forty situation and seeing how the board runs out. There has not been much table chatter today; most of the players seem focused on trying to make a deep run and not letting anything else interfere with that.
