There were 109 players in Event 15 and the beginning of the tourney everything proceeded at a normal pace – but as the event got deeper, the quicker things started to move. At one point 3 tables broke in the space of just 30 minutes as the bubble approached.
Once the final table arrived, there were several all in hands with no call and the small stacks doubled or at least increased their holdings for the most part. Then when the tournament got to heads up, both players were evenly matched in terms of chips. Again this time there was a passage of play with no movement… until David Guay shoved for 870K and found a call from Michael Stannard.
