War of Attrition
Jun 30, '07
Remarkably no one has gone bust in the last hour and we are still searching for our official final table bubble boy. Currently the players are on a 15 minute break. They were given the option of playing through the break, but took the break at one player's request
Andy Bloch has been extremely card-dead and is on life support with only $20,000 in chips. When play resumes he will have less than one big bet. Mark Bartlog was able to double his own short stack courtesy of chip leader Jon Shoreman making a 10-8 low after the second draw, and standing pat, but with $130,000 he will have just over 4 big bets when play resumes.
Both Rafi Amit and Anthony Lellouche have made it clear that they are more interested in being unrestricted for the $10,000 pot limit omaha event tomorrow, so they have been playing lots of hands, but Amit is currently second in chips.
