We had one in game 10 and that came to nothing. Anand has sacced a pawn this time though and Gelfand is already half an hour behind on the clock (after ten moves).

Lol vishy won the play-offs. Gelfand had some chances but did use up quite a bit of time. Should it have been Gelfand and not one of the other top-ranked players in the world?
