Keith Block vs. Mark Muchnik
Both of the remaining players who trying to adavance to the finals in Event #31 are true grinders. They are playing patient and disciplined poker. They are not letting their egos get in the way and forcing the action in an attempt to win every pot.
The action between the two has been minimal with Muchnik ahead after winning the only significant pot of the match. With blinds still relatively low compared to the players' stack sizes, the slow pace of play should continue. Unless, of course, both players wake up and find a big hand at the same time. Then fireworks will ensue.
Muchnik still holds a lead with 1.6M to Block's 960K.
