It's time for another five-minute break as "skip-973" has once again found a way to stay alive after being forced all in from the big blind. When play resumes, "La_Flama_Blanca" will be all in for their last 7,000 in the big blind, while "ashylarry" will be forced all in shortly thereafter should "La_Flama_Blanca" survive as well. "leoliondog" also has less than one big blind and will be in the small blind in the very next hand, meaning they will be forced in shortly as well regardless of what happens.
