Level 25 (15,000/30,000/4,000)
Total BPPS Entrants: 272
Players Remaining: 5
Chip Average: 1,650,000

Eliyah Asur has made limping cool again, as he’s entered a lot of pots without a raise. That’s caused a slower pace and a lot of multi-way pots to play out over the last hour but Asur’s stack is for the better because of it, as he’s currently second in chips.

Level 24 was a quiet one, as few big pots played out and the remaining five players more or less just traded chips for an hour. Part of that reason is that the pre flop game has been very passive, with very few three-bets and even raises being put in.

Limps are not usual at this stage of a tournament but they’ve been in high demand over the last hour, with Eilyah Asur more or less setting that pace, entering a lot of pots without a raise. That multi-way activity has then not translated to action post-flop, as players are remaining passive and treading carefully.

With the blinds and antes going up, it will be interesting to see if that slow, limpy pace will continue, with an updated list of the chip counts provided below:

1. Eilyah Asur – 1,600,000
2. Abraham Korotki – 1,100,000
3. Joe ‘Worm’ Palma – 1,300,000
4. John Germano – 2,600,000
5. Justin Kadet – 1,350,000
