WTF is up with this lag in the 20k? Standard?

[wallenborn]

Hand-for-hand play?

[RapidEvolution]

It looks like there's a long pause when another level of cashing hits. This is my first time making it this far, so I wouldn't know.

ITM in the 50k.

Ah, normally players bust out in chronological order. Near the bubble, this creates an incentive for players to stall just to outlive others, so they change to hand-for-hand play. Each hand is synchronized, and if players bust on the same hand, they finish in order of their stack sizes going into that hand. Awkward, slow, cumbersome, but so far nobody has come up with a better idea.

With 9 players left to ITM in the $50K.

Felt nitty as hell, but sure worked out okay!
