A Momentary Respite
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
The action has slowed a bit after that flurry of eliminations. We just saw a whole orbit (six hands) without a flop. Yee won two hands (one with a preflop raise, the other a walk), Singontiko took two (also one with a raise, the other a walk), and Sharaskin and Oliveira each won hands with a single preflop raise.
