Badecker Plays Table Captain
Level 5
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Erik Cajelais and Robbie Verspui are the short stacks now as Andrew Badecker is opening almost every pot as we hit the end of the level. With Jon Spinks staying out of the way and Dan Makowsky content to slow down for a bit, Badecker has really chipped up over the end of this level, though he was stopped in his tracks in the last hand when he made it 50,000 only for Makowsky to three bet to 150,000 in the small blind.
