Much Ado About Nothing

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

The action has been very, very slow down here in the Crown Poker Room, but the rail is building up to almost two-deep, which is a good sign that poker fans are looking for a little more action these days apart from the Cadillac of poker that is No Limit Hold'em.

However, not even PLO is immune from the dreaded "raise-pre-flop-fold-all-round " routine and that's what's been happening so far, save a flop here and there.

We did however witness the double-up of Aarno Kivelio, who managed to score his much-needed chips off Antoine Bechara after his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} held up on a {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board against Bechara's {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Kivelio is back up to more than 40,000 in chips.

As an added "incentive" to get things moving (hopefully) a little quicker, the decision has been made to play through until the bubble bursts before the players take their next 10-minute break of the night.
