Play Slowing Down
Level 22
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
The play always slows down at some point in these tournaments as the stacks grow to a good average, and it appears that the time is now in this tournament. With 17 players left, we have only seen one showdown so far, and that hand was checked down to the river. The average stack is 50 big blinds, so the players seem content to sit tight and wait for big hands at this moment.
