Slow and Steady
Now that all the players who remained had a fair amount of chips action continued on slowly. The players were friendly and cordial with each other; they joked around and compared notes about the payout increases. Without a well-known professional presiding at the final table festivities an intimidating presence was absent. The table played into the evening much like a home game at a kitchen table.
