Stacks of Chips for Chapnik
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We came across Victor Chapnik with his pile of chips as he fired out a raise to 4,000 on a flop of 
to the initial bet of 1,200. He took down the pot as his opponent folded, and the dealer pushed the chips to add to Chapnik's random stacks spread out over a good portion of his side of the table.

Hanson's Five-Bet Takes It
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
A player opened to 400 from early position and Bart Hanson reraised to 1,000. The player from the big blind made it 2,500 to go and the original raiser folded back to Hanson.
Hanson put out a five-bet to 5,500 and his opponent folded. Hanson is the owner and lead pro at CrushLivePoker.com, but he's trying to crush the tournament scene today and has a decent stack, even if he missed the Belmont.
Told myself I was going to sit out to watch the Belmont. Picked up AcKc and missed the entire race but won 15k pot vs KJ and Jc9c on KsTc8cFollow @BartHanson

: 100/200, 0 ante
A player under the gun pushed his small stack all in and Maurice Hawkins called with an even shorter stack in middle position. Hawkins flipped over 
, leaving his opponent drawing pretty thin with
