9pm: Baron spell
It’s been a funny old 45 minutes at the tables where nothing of note has happened. Today’s theme has been periods of frantic action where multiple players have busted, followed by baron periods of nothingness. Even chip leader Ruben Pleijster got bored and went off to buy a bottle of beer from the bar.
