Half a Day Gone

As the clock ticks past 2:00 a.m. here in Melbourne, the final table has now lasted over 12 hours long. That's half a day of straight poker (minus the dinner break) and we're still three-handed. At least the rest of the world will be able to follow the event during the normal hours of the day.

After the {9-Hearts} on the river, things slowed down with a check from both people.
