Dennis Huntly was recently eliminated after he called off his stack holding 
on a ten-high flop only to run into the 
of Michael Benvenuti. The latter is still fairly short with 16,000.

Nicki Pickering catches up with Oliver Speidel, who just so happens to be the defending champion of the Aussie Millions $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Rebuys event.
The facts stated above are unrelated but Badecker was sitting next to Joseph Cheong just moments ago. The WSOP bracelet winner left the table and right after that we saw Cheong all-in a hand against Dan Smith.

We caught the action on a 
flop where Ty Reiman lead out for 1,400 from the big blinds. His only opponent was in the cut-off and decided to raise to 3,200. Reiman tanked for a bit and finally put out a big stack which pushed his opponent all-in. The player in the cut-off didn't see it coming and folded after thinking for about a minute.
Reiman is one of the bigger stacks with just four tables left and he's looking to make a run for it.
