Nitsche and Engel Sporting Big Stacks

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We came by Ari Engel's table and he was involved in a small pot. Engel called a raise of 400 from a player in early middle position. From the big blind a player reraised to 1,400 and both players folded.

While seemingly inconsequential the pot led us to see what a big stack Engel was sporting. It was nearly 20,000 chips. Just a few seats over Dominik Nitsche was also supporting a monster stack for this level. He had even more than Engel with 22,500. The two are bound to collide at some point in the day as it doesn't look as if their table will break for a while.
