Halverson and East Get Shoves Through
Level 34
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Mitchell Halverson and Jareth East are the short stacks on Feature #2 and have been tanking the longest ever since the dinner break in order to reach the next pay jump.
Luckily for both of them, they each picked up a pot recently. Halverson raised to 5,500,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself with just 500,000 behind. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos thought about it on the button but elected to fold, as did the blinds.
On the next hand, Andreas Kniep raised to 1,000,000 on the button and East pushed all in from the small blind. Kniep slid him the 1,000,000 chip and mucked his cards.
