Slowing Down, Eyeing Day 2?

Everyone was a bit surprised with how quick and aggressive the play was for the first three levels of the day, but it seems like the players are finally settling into their deep stacks. There are fewer multi-way pots than we saw early on, and the pots that are being played are going relatively uncontested to showdown. Small ball and chip saving seem to be on the players' minds right now.

Well, some of them at least. There are still 50-big-blind races and massive over-shoves here and there throughout the room. But for the most part, the players seem content to try and ride their current stacks into Day 2. We'll have to wait and see if we get one of those late flurries of activity to finish up the day.
