Play Has Tightened Up Dramatically

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

As the money boom draws ever closer, play has tightened up dramatically in Event #30 because nobody wants to have played for almost 10.5 hours and have nothing to to show for it.

On our rounds of the tournament floor, we heard one short-stacked player claim to have folded pocket jacks to a raise because he wants to scrape into the money. Whether his opponents act on that and start putting him under immense pressure is anyone's guess, but we would think he's just painted a big target on his back!
