Short stack Michael Craig looked as unworried as a squirrel with a key to the nut factory despite having shrunk to just 600 chips at one point. Back around the 2,000 mark, the Stud 8 round saw him get it all in no fewer than three times; I caught two of them.
The first time it was David Benyamine who gave him a spin for his tournament life, Craig betting until fifth street when their hands were like so:
Benyamine:

Benyamine: [

Craig: [
...
...
Chop it up.The very next hand...
Craig got it all in against David Williams showing
, and when he turned his final 
it turned out that his two pair pipped Williams' Sevens and Sixes and scooped a 6,000 pot that pulled him back from the brink of elimination.
