As we pass the 90-minute mark of the Main Event Day 1B, the list of players continues to grow. There are still 104 players sitting at the tables out of 105 who entered. Players are biding their time, waiting for the opportunity to strike. Some tables, however, are willing to wait a little longer than others.
Just now at table 21 we saw a relatively rare hand. The table was playing 8-handed, and all but one limped in to see the flop. Seven checks later the turn came down. It seemed no one had any desire to take any sort of a risk at all.
This trend continued, as there were seven more checks, which led to the river card. It was too much for the player in seat 8, who finally fired a 1000 chip bet. Unsurprisingly, this led to six folds, helping him take down the hand.
