Action Slows Somewhat

[user46298]

The outer table, despite being stocked with very aggressive players, has found its pace of play decreasing as the levels increase. One interesting hand recently found John Tabatabai getting a few of those chips Gus Hansen took from him last level. With the blinds at 5k/10k, small blind Tabatabai limped and Hansen checked.

Flop: {5-Spades}

. Tabatabai bet out 50k (that's just two of the newly introduced 25k chips) and Hansen called.

Turn: {J-Spades}

. Without a pause, Tabatabai bet 75k, and won the pot there.

Elsewhere newly re-stacked Tino Lechich is in a much more chatty sort of mood. He also just stole James Keys' beer. "Is that your beer?" he asked, pointing at a bottle on their side table. "Yes," replied Keys. "I took a sip out of it. I'll get you a fresh one." Yes, folks, they've started drinking -- perhaps that will shift a few players out of first gear.
