Mr. Deeds
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Mike Sandler just surged into a commanding chip position with just 30 players left in contention, after ending up on the right end of a massive cooler.
One player opened for a standard raise and Sandler flatted with 
, only see another player jam all in for the three-bet. The opener also went all in and Sandler made the call with his cowboys, finding himself up against a short stack's 
and the other player's 
.
Sandler was poised to snatch a huge pot either way, but when the final board ran out 
his turned set gave him the scoop.
He now sits with just about 3.5 times the average stack at the moment, with play quickly winding its way down to the final two tables - and the money.

Zinno Zapped
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Anthony Zinno just went bust, but he stopped by the PokerNews Live Reporting desk to provide a succinct postmortem.
Zinno got the last of his stack in before the flop holding 
, but he was ran down by the lone caller's 
.
After winning the World Poker Tour Borgata Open for $825,099 last September, Zinno will have to wait for another shot at a final table run here in the Atlantic City poker room.

Stuart Not So Little
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
After Joe Kuether opened for 3,200 we saw one player three-bet jam for the last his stack, with Stuart Gelwarg plunking out a massive four-bet for the isolation play. Kuether quickly folded and Gelwarg tabled 
, finding himself in a dominant position over the three-bettor's 
move.
The final board ran out 
and Gelwarg's pair of jacks held up for the win.
He now holds more than double the average stack at the moment.
