Lots of Small Ball

There are lots of big names at the secondary feature table, but they're not playing lots of big hands right now.

Most pots are currently being won with preflop raises of between 12,000 and 13,000, with very hands actually seeing a flop.

In one hand that did get that far, Peter Eastgate bet 10,500 from the button and got called by Leo Labbe in the big blind. Labbe then bet 12,000 on a flop of {4-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Eastgate raised to 28,000. That brought a fold by Labbe.

After the hand, Joe Hachem remarked "It's good to be the world champ." Eastgate's response - "So far."
