We just came on a hand involving Kevin McColgan and Matt Glantz, sitting next to each other and both playing from middle position. With the board showing 
, McColgan checked, and Glantz fired a bet that left himself just 11,000 behind. McColgan thought for some time before letting his hand go.
Glantz continues to operate with a sub-starting stack as players move through the halfway point of Level 5.

Michael Linster was down to less than 10,000 when he just jammed all in from late position and got one caller in Brian Davis. Linster had 
and Davis , and after the board ran out 
, Linster was felted.
We're in the last level for re-entering, and so Linster quickly took off looking as though he'll be buying his way back in.
