The Rich Get Richer
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
The big stacks continue to dominate play here into the day's seventh level.
[Removed:339] was one of two callers when one opponent shoved in for almost 10,000 chips on a 
flop. The 
turn brought a shove from [Removed:340] and a fold from the third player. [Removed:340]'s all-in opponent held 
, but it was no good against his 
and turned straight. The river bricked.
In the meantime, one table over, Kristan Mackiewicz straightened out on the river to continue crushing and bust another foe.

Trips were good and Pachla has close to a starting stack again without having to re-enter.
