Players Not Hanging Around

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Even though the event is a freezeout, players are not taking their time to take chances and build some healthy stacks.

With the pot at over 13,000 and board reading 10757 Blain Jordan moved all in for 17,300, which sent Francois Russo and then Rigo Vangarell into the tank before they both folded. Jordan tabled A7 to show he wasn't at it.

In another all-in situation, the board read 2QQ7A, and Xing Wei bet 3,200, only to see Paul Osley come over the top and move all in for 16,000. Wei knew he was beat and mucked his (apparent) queen to see Paul Osley show AxQx for a full house.
