The Phoney War
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
With both Daragh Davey and Dimitri Pembroke short-stacked, it's mostly been a sparring show between Alan Gold and Paul Febers. You feel as though they're both just waiting for the short stacks to bust before they really let rip.
Febers opened to 185,000 in the small blind and Gold called to see a flop, Febers checked and quickly folded when Gold bet 200,000. They're much more cautious against each other.
