On the first hand back from dinner, Alan Wentz had his chips in the middle but chopped a pot with Michael Foley when they both had ace-queen.

A few hands later, Tim Kotocavage open-shoved for 860,000 from under the gun and it folded to Wentz in the big blind. He called with a similar stack, against with ace-queen.

Wentz: AdQh
Kotocavage: Ah7d

Wentz was in better shape this time, faded the Kh9s5h flop, the 2d turn was safe, but Kotocavage took the pot after the 7c river. They counted down the stacks and Kotocavage was at risk and Wentz was left with only a single 25K chip.

Tim Kotocavage – 1,790,000 (30 bb)
Alan Wentz – 25,000 (-1 bb)

Wentz was left with less than one small blind but ran that up with two big doubles to have a workable stack.
