Scott Fischman found himself in a world on hurt with 
agianst 
with a five already dead.
Fischman didn't need to worry as he flopped a boat holding with the board coming 
to double to 20,000.
Andrew Lichtenberger just dropped about 9,000 back doubling up the short stack to his left whose 
stayed ahead of Lichtenberger's 
on a low scoring 
board.
He still has around 43,000 though.
Table Pantling / Fischman / Nitsche / Bowker is easily the most active of the four in play, and that's probably because it has the most chips of any table.
We just watched these three hands in a row, a microcosm of the last two hours or so. On the first hand, Kyle Bowker opened to 1,400 before Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 3,600 two seats over. In the small blind, Wesley Pantling said, "I'm gonna raise," and he stacked out 7,700 chips. Both players folded, and Pantling added, "That might've been a cold one there. Cold four-bet."
On the next hand, it was Dominik Nitsche opening with a raise before the player in the small blind moved all in. Quick fold from Nitsche.
We walked away after this next one, because we were getting bored of not seeing any flops. From the cutoff seat, Wesley Pantling limped first into the pot. True story. The table folded around to a younger player in the big blind, and he took his pause. After about a minute of staring, Pantling said, "Just hit the felt. You get three free cards." The big blind promptly announced an all in for about 9,000, and Pantling ducked for cover.
Even as we're typing, there's still a four-bet frenzy going on over there. We're running back over there because we just heard an all in.
The action folded around to the button who opened for 1,600, only for Sofia Lövgren to three-bet to 4,200 from the small blind.
As Lövgren remained as statuesque as Michelangelo's David, one arm resting on the felt and with her eyes concealed by her Terminator shades, her opponent deliberated for a minute before pushing a column of purple chips into the middle and announcing, "11,000."
Lövgren looked about as happy as an Eskimo in the desert, and after around 20 seconds, she relinquished her hand. Disaster has not struck the Swede though, as she still has 33,500 in chips.
In middle position, one of the many short stacks appearing in this tournament moved all-in preflop for 5,100 and a wordless Andrew Lichtenberger flat-called next to him. It was passed around to the big-stack big blind who tanked for several moments before eventually folding what he would later say was .
Short stack: 
Lichtenberger: 
The flop came 
and the big stack looked miserable while the all-in shorty pleaded, "No club."
He got his request on the turn, but the river was the 
and "Luckychewy" now has 52,000.
On a board, Kyle Bowker bet out 3,000 into a pot of around 7,500.
"You can't be bluffing," mused his opponent as he released his hand. "I'd hate to see a bluff."
He didn't see a bluff, but then again, he didn't see a strong hand either as Bowker slid his cards face-down across the felt.
Bowker is starting to gather momentum now; he has 31,000.
"Cards are in the air, guys. Seventy-five, three and six."
Our thanks to T.D. Dennis for saying it as eloquently as we could have.
