Taking It Easy

Play has really slowed down since our final 18 squashed on to two tables. The payouts get very steep from here on in, plus the chance of getting a coveted seat at a WSOP final table and thus a good shot at a bracelet, as well as the fact that there's no point busting out now as they've already missed the fireworks display outside, mean that there is good reason to tighten up.
Nevertheless, the blinds just went up and so our shorter stacks are going to have to get a move on if they want a shot at WSOP glory. Among the folks whose stacks are now looking a bit precarious are Jonathan Duhamel, Ali Alawadhi and Salvatore Bonavena.
