Jon Spinks was just talking to us about being surprised that only two players have bought in for the start of today.
"I definitely would've bought back in," he said, citing the fact that you'd get 25 big blinds plus over half the field had already been eliminated.
Dario Sammartino and Robert Haigh had got to the river of a board reading 
. Dario Sammartino bet 14,000 and was faced by an all-in from Haigh. Sammartino wanted a count and found it was 53,900 total. He stared his opponent down and made the call. Haigh had 
but Sammartino had made the correct call with 
with two pair on a coordinated board.
Minutes before Kevin MacPhee had busted his short stack and has already fired his second bullet so won’t be back.
