Though some of the pots have been aggressive, chipstacks haven't really swayed drastically, with the exception of Lonnie Heimowitz, who's been a shortstack since before the last break. Lonnie was down to 15,000 and doubled up three times. He still doesn't have very many chips left, but he's put his money in with the best of it and taken it down each time.

Steve Diano is using a Phil Hellmuth card protector any time he's in a hand with Phil Hellmuth. The protector has gotten several laughs and although it may not be as epic as two Hellmuths playing heads-up H.O.R.S.E, it's as close as we'll ever come.
