Steady and Slow

Looks like full bellies have contributed to a slowdown in play. We haven't broken a table yet after dinner despite playing for more than thirty minutes.

Now, as a general rule, eliminations should continue at a steady pace from here to the final table (although collapsing tables causes fewer eliminations per level the closer we get to the final table). But sometimes they get "stuck" -- like shifting tectonic plates under the ground get stuck, eventually resulting in an earthquake. It looks like we're in a "stuck" period right now. We'll see what it takes to shake some of these players loose.
