Hand #89 - Greer

[user4144]
[user4144]
Keith Greer and Davidi Kitai see a cheap {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop from the blinds.

Check, check.

Turn = {5-Hearts}

Two more checks.

River = {5-Spades}

Check, check again.

{8-?}{7-?} earns Greer the pot.

Hand #85 - Bell

Chris Bell raises to 75,000 preflop only for Davidi Katai to make it 125,000 to play.

Bell, as calculated as ever, fiddles with his chips as he mulls over his next move. After a brief pause, he makes the fold.

Little Room for Maneuver

Players haven't had too much room to maneuver of late, the delayed finish last night as we awaited the departure of that final table bubble perhaps making this less deep stacked than it might have been.

Looking back at the hands, I think they show that if the action isn't a preflop showdown, many hands are being checked all the way down, as players would be investing a large segment of their stack with more than a couple of bets or raises.
