Petersen Surviving
PokerStars Team Online Pro Mickey 'mement_mori' Petersen has sat behind a small stack of chips for most of the day but has just managed to pick up some much needed chips.
The under the gun player limped before two more players limped. Petersen was on the button when the action came to him and it didn't take him long to slide his stack in the middle. One limper asked for a count before getting out of the way when he found out Petersen was all in for almost 9,000. With the rest of the players out of the way, Petersen took down the pot and survives with 13,000

Jackson Zheng is currently sitting behind one of the largest stacks in the room and we caught the action in a hand which recently added to his growing stack.

Ivey checked, along with two players behind him, before Zheng fired out 3,500. Ivey got out of the way, while the player to his left decided to check-shove. The action was back around on Zheng and he made the call.
