The Stacks Are Getting Bigger

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

John Monnette lost the vast majority of his stack when a short stack shoved for 30,000 with pocket jacks and he called with ace-king in the small blind. Michael Krasienko reshoved for 160,000 in the big blind with pocket aces and Monnette called it off. The remaining few chips then went one seat over to James Romero.

Other players on the rise include Chi Zhang, Matt Waxman, and Giuseppe Pantaleo.
