Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Thomas Mader has taken the lead in Level 5 despite losing two all in pots.

Mader would have 70,000 already had he busted the two short stacks who moved in on him. Instead he'll settle for 45,000 after finding success in several other pots.

He had kings against queens and a weak king for heaps early. Plus, a number of straights and flushes since that time have helped him build a stack.
