The Stacks They Are A-Changing
Firstly, Jonathan Proudfoot seemed to have recovered from his early knock and with 75k got it all in preflop from late position vs. a big blind Toby Lewis, who was in a re-raising mood with his but ran into Proudfoot's which held to pretty much halve his shiny new stack.
Across the room Vegard Nygaard, down quite a bit from his high chip point yesterday, bet off David Williams (also now nursing a mid-to-short stack) in a small blind on blind confrontation - but a couple of thousand is a couple of thousand when you're under 40k.
Also a stroke of good fortune for Fabrizio Ascari, whose pocket Threes flopped a house while the player to his left picked up the nut flush draw and got his stack in. A boost in chips for the Italian who has been in good shape chipwise right from the start of the whole tournament.
