Eric Schanck has been by far the most active player on the table so far, and for most of the time that served him well… until it didn’t. By the most recent break, he was near the bottom of the standings. Being smaller-stacked hasn’t held him up much, though, and he recently won a hand against Ruben Perceval to put himself back in a healthy position with around 8.5M in his stack.
In the hand in question, there was standard preflop action which put the pot at around 1.2M and the flop was dealt 
. Ruben laid out a bet of 850K, and Eric called. The turn saw the dealer up out the 
and the action went check-check. The river was the 
, and Ruben bet 1.6M. Eric took some time and eventually made a bit of a hero call – but was correct! He showed down 
for 2nd pair while Ruben showed 
for high card Ace.
