Shaniac Showdown

Shane "Shaniac" Schleger, a bit breathless following the break, after having been outside watching the arrival of Phil Hellmuth -- about which, stay tuned -- was just involved in a hand with Joe Pelton. With the board reading {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades}, Pelton had fired out a bet of 3,200 and Schleger called without much hesitation.

Pelton showed 8-7 for sevens and fours, while Schleger held A-J for the better two pair. Schleger is up to 27,000, while Pelton has 19,000.
