I happened to get on PS last night, checked out this tourney, and out of 7300 entrants, they were only 20 eliminations or so from everyone else getting their seat. So. Slow. And. Boring... I am not joking when I say every single person used all 15 seconds of allotted time, plus some of their time bank, every single time it was their turn. And they always folded. To the BB. Everyone. I was watching 3 tables, and I didn't see a single flop. Only a couple of all-ins that were actually called. I completely understand, after 8 hours, they were all so close to their seat, but man it was boring.
Least impressive moment: When they were on the bubble, with only one more person to be eliminated, there was a super short stack on one of the tables I was watching who was about to be in the BB. He had less then the small blind, so he would at least be all-in against the SB's hand, it couldn't be folded to him. The other tables I was watching knew about this guy, they were chatting about it. I wondered aloud how many people at this table would be smart enough to limp in and then check it down, to increase the chances of this guy getting knocked out. Only one guy limps, and so the SB folds! And later he says he folded 77!! The limper's K7o beats the short stack's J4o unimproved to send everyone to the main event. After some celebrating, everyone started giving the K7 limper grief!
Anyway, just thought it was interesting. Really sucks to be that bubble boy.
