Tales From Table 9
Table 9 over in the corner of the room is an interesting one. The conversation may be surprisingly small seeing as Sergii Baraniv is in attendance, but the stacks are large.
The comeback kid, Gordon Huntly, is there and amassed even more chips, and two of the overnight chips leaders, in Jesper Feddersen and Casey Kastle are also sat there.
Baranov is probably muted as he has a short stack and needs to concentrate. His 20 big blind stack (roughly) is perfect for three-bet-shoving and that's exactly what he did two hands in a row after Feddersen raised. Feddersen folded the first time and also had to admit defeat the second time when the Ukrainian's 41,600 all in forced him to fold.
One player who's shove did get called was Shinya Shimada. He was very short and shoved from the button with 
5h]. Tomas Pleticha was in the big blind with pocket tens and called but dropped to 50,000 chips after an ace flopped.
