Zarlenga, Romer Back In
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Bill Romer and Jason Zarlenga have burned through early bullets and are not on their last chances in this tournament. An early bluff cost Zarlenga much of his stack, and we didn't see what befell Romer.

Vang Gets a Lucky Flop
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Yer Vang opened to 550 under the gun and was called in two spots before the small blind reraised to 1,500. Vang called, as did one other player. On the 
flop, the small blind bet 2,100 and Vang raised to 8,000. That chased the third player away, and the player under the gun called. The 
paired the board, and the small blind checked. Vang splashed enough to put his opponent all in for 4,200.
The player sighed and leaned back.
"He has me covered?" he said, standing up. "Alright, I'll go home."
He turned over 
but indeed was way behind Vang's 
. No queen or king arrived to save him on the river.
"Nice hand," he said.
"Lucky flop," Vang replied.

Sandness, Vang, Down to Final Shots
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Mark Sandness and Kou Vang just got sent to the reentry desk from the same table in a span of a few minutes. Both have had tons of success on the Mid-States Poker Tour, with Sandness taking down an event here at Running Aces last year and Vang narrowly missing Player of the Year honors in 2014.
Vang already fired up his reentry, while Sandness is hovering near the registration desk.
