Level 17 is underway in this Day 2 of the TonyBet Winter Festival Main Event, and the money-bubble is inching towards us. Only 77 players remain in the field, and with 63 scheduled to be paid, we can expect players to adjust their style of game to adapt to the situation.
The bubble is a very strategic moment in the tournament for many players, as some players can’t help but tighten up to assure themselves a spot in the money, while others turn on a more aggressive game to take advantage of this exact scenario. Big stacks tend to get bigger, while small stacks sometimes slowly blind out.
We will keep you posted on the events occurring around the bubble.
