Dinner March Begins

We have about 30 minutes until the dinner break. We will likely see a bunch of bust-outs in the next few minutes as players try and make some chips to make coming back from dinner worthwhile.

On the flip side, some of the healthier stacks may tend to shut down and take it easy, knowing that they have a long break ahead. This will be a good time for players to make some plays at some soft pots.
