How Long is a Hand?
Many of the players are complaining about the length of time it takes to complete a hand. At this stage, the average is eight minutes.

Honestly, we should get rid of the bubble. Just have a money transition phase to minimize the value of deliberate slow play to get into the money.

Like this:
625 $2,000
624 $4,000
623 $6,000
622 $8,000
621 $10,000
620 $12,000
619 $14,000
618 $16,000
617 $18,000
616 $20,000

If you paid $10,000 to enter, you have no real reason to slowplay over the next $2,000 increment, and everyone can just play normally.
