Big Hands Need to Clash

[user76079]

Most of the eliminations we've seen so far have been a result of two big hands clashing in a preflop all in confrontation. None of these players seemed that experienced at playing a big stack and using it to pile pressure on their opponents. Hands that have been played postflop have been either checked most of the way down or a small bet has scared an opponent off.

We've recently moved up to Level 26 where the big blind is 80,000. This means that there are only just over 100 big blinds on the table, hence most of the play will be preflop from now on.
