On a recent pass of Ryan Dodge's table, he told us that he had 1.8 million chips. On closer examination of his chips, however, instead of clean stacks of 20, his chips were stacked in stacks of 18.
"Woah," said Dodge, counting one out. Lo and behold it was a stack of 18. "I feel like I've had a bad beat!"
Despite this 'bad beat,' Dodge still sits on almost 1.6 million in chips.

Things had been going swimmingly for Vlastimil Pustina. He had accumulated a big stack and had remained steady during the last couple of levels. That was until he lost a big pot against his friend Clayton Saliba just now.
Pustina and Saliba explained how the chips had changed hands and it all boiled down to a set v set situation. Pustina had flopped a set of deuces and Saliba turned a set of jacks, which was when they went all in. The river was a brick and Saliba is now over the 1 million mark, whilst Pustina is sent back to the drawing board.
Cards were on their backs in a hand between old rivals Ray Qartomy and Jared Ingles. The latter was all in from the hijack for 163,500, way ahead with

board brought a scare for Ingles but the 
river was safe for him.
