From middle position, David Stefanski came in raising to 60,000, and Roman Valerstein defended his big blind to go off to the flop.
It came out 
. Valerstein checked, but he was thinking sinister thoughts. He check-raised from 51,000 to 126,000, and Stefanski added the extra chips to the pot to see another card. It was the 
that hit the turn, and Valerstein stacked out another 202,000 chips into the pot. Stefanski gave it a long look before letting it go.
After that exchange, Stefanski has dropped back to 830,000, neck-and-neck with Rob Williamson for the title of short stack right now.
