[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ] 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.

Re: ** WSOP ME, $10,000 NLHE, Day 3, Thur., July 12 **
This hand-for-hand is excruciatingly slow. It is averaging over 8 minutes per hand. Can they play two hands at a time? Can the dealers count to two? Or is it impossible to know if a player busted on the first or second hand of the pair?

A Bad, Bad River Card After Dario Minieri raised under the gun, Robert Clothier re-raised to 16,000 and both Richard Wild in the small blind and Minieri chose to call. The three players checked the 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] flop and the A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the turn, but when the K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] fell on the river Wild led out for 12,000. Clothier moved all-in and Wild called, showing Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for the nut flush. Clothier had made a set on the river with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and that most-unfortunate card on the river led to his elimination.

Chad Brown Eliminates Kevin Mason After the player under the gun limped, Kevin Mason moved in for the last of his 34,500. Both Chad Brown in the small blind and the UTG player called and they saw a Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] flop. Brown and the other player checked, when the 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] turned Brown called his opponent's 1,625 bet. When the river brought the K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] both players checked again, and the UTG player's A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] lost out to the straight Brown made on the river with his pocket Jacks. Brown took down the pot and Mason was eliminated. [/ QUOTE ] 6 hands played,627 left

god this hand makes me wish I had 10k$ to risk... these people suck [/ QUOTE ] yep. On Table 38, two big chip stacks get involved in a pot. The early-position player raises to 15,000, the small blind reraises to 30,000, the first player min-reraises to 45,000, and the small blind calls. The flop comes {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, the small blind checks, his opponent slowly counts a bet of 75,000 and pushes it forward, and the small blind folds K-K face up.

A Little Light Comedy After Issac Haxton raised to 12,000 Brandon Adams moved all-in from the button. Both the small and big blinds agonized over their decisions before deciding to fold. Adams sat there completely stone-faced as the action came back to Haxton, who looked at his cards and said, "I should probably let this one go, considering it's not even much of a good hand." His stream-of-conscience musings made Adams burst out laughing and Haxton tossed his cards in the muck. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Jeff "Mr. Rain" Banghart raised 12,000 preflop. A player re-raised to 45,000 fromt he button. Mr. Rain called. The flop was A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] . Mr. Rain checked. His opponent bet 50,000. Mr. Rain check-raised all in. His opponent folded and showed K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] . Mr. Rain mucked one card and showed A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] . He increased his stack to over 700,000. [/ QUOTE ]
