Fuller Stomachs

Play has certainly slowed down since the dinner break, fuller stomachs perhaps making players more lethargic in their play. Either way, each decision is being carefully dissected and every move is meticulously made, thus making for a pretty slow game.

The last encounter I saw involved Isaac Settle and Josh Roberts, Roberts raising to 74,000 from middle position. Settle, who'd made a rare limp from early position, made the call, leading to a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

With Settle checking in the dark, the decision lay on Roberts, who requested a count before slowly separating 74,000 from one of four giant columns and trickling the chips over the line. Settle seemed tempted, but he eventually opted for the fold, and the next hand was dealt.
