The clock was paused so the tournament personnel could close a table and introduce the shot clocks/time cards. The players are grinding and being careful with their chip management. The larger stacks are preying on the smaller ones, as usual, but the blinds are still not too high and allow for some maneuverability.
The last break of the evening is coming up between levels 16 and 17 and we’ll make sure to get an updated chip count.
