Pace Frantic, but Stacks Static

Hands are rocketing past at speed which would be surprising online. So frequent are the flops-to-rivers checkdowns, or check most of the way and then bet-fold, that it's hard to get them down in order or pick the most interesting ones.

For example, Barry Shulman just check-raised 250k on a {A-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop, called by Negreanu. They both checked the {3-Clubs} turn, but Negreanu folded to a bet out by Shulman on the {Q-Spades} river.

This hand took about as much time to play as it did to type at top speed - I've rarely seen heads up players storm through hands like this.
