There, the smaller stacks face both a danger and an opportunity, and the first hand of level 11 was between one of those chip leaders, Trevor Argue, and a smaller-stacked player Cole Neufeld.
Gabriel Attiave, perhaps the shortest stack at the table, limped in for 1,000 and was raised to 3,000 by the player to his left, Cole Neufeld. Trevor called, as did Gabriel.
