Holland Still Near 100K; Cohen Well Below Starting Stack
There looked to be just shy of 50,000 in the middle on a board of in a pot between Jon Cohen in the big blind and Maxx Holland, who was in early position.
Cohen checked to Holland, who fired a bet of 25,000. Cohen then went into the tank for a while and eventually folded.

Horvath Quintuples Up
Scott Horvath was down to his last 2,000 and went all in from early position. The player to his left called before action folded around to Rich Dixon, who was on the button and also called.

Jeff Banghart:
Scott Horvath:
"Ten's good!" said a couple people on the other side of the table in unison. If any other hands were shown, it was not for long as all the other cards were mucked and Horvath was paid off, bringing him back to over 10K in chips nearing the end of Level 7.
