At Table 25, we caught up with Antuan “bigboybunk” Bunkley (pictured at left) showing down a hand with a player in late position. Bunkley showed KJ to the other player’s JT. He was way ahead when the flop came with J and two clubs, but a T on the turn gave the other player two pair, leaving Antuan shaking his head. Despite the chip loss, his 32K stack remains healthy at the break.

Ezra Galston (pictured at right) of Cardrunners gave Table 4 a run for their money before the break as well. In the middle of the last level, Galston raised on the button. The rest of the table folded around, except the player to his immediate right, who jammed his short stack into the middle. Quickly calling, Ezra showed J7 to the short stack’s Q5. When the flop came J7Q, Ezra’s two pair held and the short stack was eliminated. Several hands later, Ezra flat-called a preflop raise of 1300 in late position, after the other player in the hand affirmed he would call a 5K raise. When the flop came J75, the player in early position checked and Ezra bet 2800. After awhile in the tank, the other player folded and Ezra picked up a nice pot and teased him by showing the K.
