The play has slowed down in the recent minutes with the vast majority of the pots being taken down by the initial raise.

An exception occurred when Yuval Bronshtein defended big blind, calling Steven Tabb's 26,000-raise. Both players peeled one and then they checked. Bronshtein opened and narrowed the gap between his and Tabb's stack. They are currently maneuvering the two shortest stacks at the table.
