Level: 15
Blinds: 1,200/2,400
Ante: 400
We missed the action, but arrived at the table to find the remnants of a hand where Jesse Yaginuma was able to double through Jonathan Duhamel. When we got to the table, Duhamel's was thrown into the muck while Yaginuma's was triumphantly displayed.
The board read 
and Yaginuma's nines reigned supreme. His all in was for about 76,000 which boosts him to around 160,000. Duhamel, on the other hand, has about 100,000 in chips.

A short-stacked Mark "Pegasus" Smith moved all in under the gun for 11,600 and cleared the field all the way to Matthew Plecki, who called from the big blind.
Plecki: 
Smith:
Plecki was behind but drawing to live cards. The flop was non-threatening to Smith, and the 
turn was safe enough. All Smith had to do was dodge queen-jack paint, and that's what he did as the 
completed the board on the river.
