Despite the fast and furious start this final table got off to, it's been pretty slow since then. The players are getting involved, but they are sure to take their time and think about every decision. The longer they take and the less hands they play only makes the blind increases that much more important. If we get through one or two more levels with eight players still remaining, you can almost surely expect to see the pots grow and the fireworks start to fly. That is also highlighted by the fact that every bounty at this final table is worth $10,000. We say, bring on the action!

After two monster pots early on, one of which resulted in Victor Ramdin's elimination in ninth place, the action has slowed considerably. The blinds are still small and the stacks deep, so it is no surprise the players are content to play some small-ball poker.
John Smith raised to 1,150 under the gun and was called by Joe Tehan in the hijack and Shane Schleger in the small blind. Schleger then checked the
