A Changing of the Guard

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Overnight chip leader Matt Brunskole has lost half his stack somehow. It's likely Hayden Glassman picked up a chunk, sitting to his left with 100,000 more chips than he started with.

In the meantime, Veerab Zakarian has been moved over to that table with 550,000.

He joins the chip leaders after starting the day with a paltry 80,000.

The first level saw Zakarian run blazing hot, first doubling with queens versus fives, then using some kind of Jedi mind trick to get almost 400,000 more chips without showdown.
