An Unusual Dynamic

With the bubble less than 10 bust outs away, play usually slows up as the short stacks tighten up and try to limp their way into the money.

That doesn't really seem to be happening here though, as players continue to build big pots and push their chips around the felt. Maybe they don't realize how close they are to the money, or maybe they just don't care. Either way, it's making for some fun play at this stage of the tournament.
