The field in the High Roller has been quickly reduced to the final four tables after a lengthy logjam just before the money bubble.
The mood around the tables has changed significantly; there is lots of laughter to be heard, and the chips are going in far more quickly than at any other point in the tournament. It’s a familiar pattern emerging throughout the field as no one seems interested in backing down from any reasonably strong hand. Also, the blinds have crept up to 12K/24K, meaning that the chip average provides about 40 big blinds. So it comes as no surprise that we are seeing more and more flips at this stage.
Expect the play to tighten up once again as the final table comes into sight.
