This was a very small pot, but the action has been very slow lately. With 10 players remaining, but only nine combining to the final table, the two tables are playing hand-for-hand. But keep in mind that ninth and 10th places pay the same, so there is no pay jump at stake, just who gets to make the nine-handed final table.
