A Coping Mechanism

Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Sharman Olshan has moved into the lead here heading into the last level before the dinner break, thanks to her second double knockout of the day.
This time she called one shorty's 13,000-chip shove with two jacks. A third player went all in for 20,000 more behind and Olshan called it off.
She was up against two fives and ace-ten, holding without much of a sweat.
In the meantime, the heavily bearded and multi-talented Matt Marcinkiewicz is on her direct left. He's got 120,000 himself, coming off a second-place finish in the $300 PLO event Thursday, and clearly learning to cope with just two cards instead of four.
