As anticipated, there have been many all ins taking place from the short stacks and in most cases, theyhave been able to pick up the dead money on the table. On table 35, Daniel Germain opened the action raising it up from 8,000 to 20,000, only to see Azaam Hakim move all in for 64,500. It took over a minute of tanking before Germain folded and Hakim picked up some valuable chips. Germain mentioned that he had a pair. Hakim said nothing.

There have of course been some calls taking place that didn’t work out so well for the short stacks as 12 players have exited since the last break. The chip leader from the last break, Goran Brestovac, has taken advantage of his skill and his big stack and is now sitting well over 400,000.
