Cards have been in the air for less than 30 minutes and we missed James Calderaro's entrance to the room. We just saw him shove preflop with around 5,000 holding and an opponent called him holding .
The board ran , Calderaro doubled up to around 10,000. He either has a lunch date soon or is playing fast and loose.
