Although there are only 71 players remaining, players are not sitting back on their thumbs and trying to slide up in the payout structure. On Green #3, Wes Pantling opened the pot from the cutoff for 4,500. He was reraised by the button, Cody Slaubaugh, to 12,000. When action folded back to Pantling, he tanked for two minutes, looking everywhere but directly at Slaubaugh. Then he put in the third raise to 36,000, leaving himself only 15,000 behind. Slaubaugh quietly folded; Pantling flashed {10-Spades}

.

Pantling is now up to about 65,000 chips.
