Conti Down, Then Back Up
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Frank Conti found himself down from a 451,000 stack to his last 80,000 early on in the first level of the day, but he's doubled back up to 170,000.
Alida Veliu opened to 12,000 from early position, Conti shoved the 80,000, and Veliu called, having Conti covered.

Conti hit a pair of queens on the flop and stayed ahead, and he's still in the running on Day 2.
