The field is down to 22 players in the Short Deck Re-entry. Spencer Jean-Baptiste has managed to extend his chip lead since the last break.
Philip Schrier currently has the second largest stack in play, having maintained his momentum since flopping a straight flush in a pre-flop all in against two opponents earlier. But he didn’t waste all his luck on that hand; he recently eliminated a player after going runner-runner from a spot where he was drawing very thin on the flop. Holding 
against his opponent’s 
, the flop fell 
, giving him top pair against middle set, but after turning two pair he rivered the nut boat to send his opponent to the rail.
The blinds have crept up to 3K/6K, meaning that the chip average provides roughly 20 big blinds so it comes as no surprise that many stacks below that point are simply moving all in pre-flop rather than trying to play small ball poker.
