I've been suprised how well the mini-raise is working at this final table. I mean, with the ante's, the Big Blind is getting near 3-1 to call..but it has folded around nearly everytime someone has tried it.

i've been surprised about this too. but now that it has a record of working at the table, no reason to stop using it apparently.

Any else notice Lee isn't throwing in his normal jokes when people are getting KO'd? Lee are you ok?

With $600k+ in remaining prize money, now that FS is out, who is likely to bring up the chop?

[ZBTHorton]

Snow Leopard is the best player left in my opinion..so not him.

It'd be cool if they don't talk deal. There's really a ton of play left with the blinds about to be capped.

OTOH, I'm tired and stoned and wouldn't mind going to sleep already, either.

[Jurollo]

With the current stacks I would say mrrain would. But I think you will likely now see them try to bully toprose before talking. It might also be a situation where everyone is already SO happy with the 100K+ payday that the rest is icing on the cake, so they wont chop.

AND he has 44% of the chips in play.

This is really slow. They need to raise the blinds. Did I hear someone say the blinds are currently capped? If so, that is really quite lame (for the viewer).
