Slowdown
Now that our runners are just 18 in number, the action seems to have slowed down some.
It's not just that this is where the money starts to get really big. At this stage all our remaining players will have their eyes firmly set on a precious WSOP final table appearance tomorrow, and ultimately, a shot at the bracelet.
Players at the non-feature table keep glancing over to see whether anyone's busted across the way yet, and so far they have been disappointed. At the feature table players are standing up and pacing at random intervals - the atmosphere eight inches off the ground there makes it feel as though the final is already upon us.
It looks like we might have to wait a little while for any serious action.
