Is it me, or does it seem that every mid-stakes grinder who has decided to take a shot at making elite is running bad? I've had a massive cooler so far this year incl flopped quads losing to a rivered straight flush and flopped top house losing to another rivered straight flush.

Maybe Stars decided elite status was truely going to be elite and any mid-stakes grinders who tried to get there were going to get the doom switch flicked to ensure they don't make it!!
