More and more frequent, with outbreaks of last-level double-or-bust fever. Temperatures in the tournament room are in the mid to high drowsy, and the 180 players remaining are perspiring gently.
So far we've seen Ludovic Lacay do it (for 19,300 in mid position) with no caller, and Heinz Kamutzki do it when it folded to him in the cutoff for 12,000.
