Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Doing The Most With Ten Bigs

Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Total Entries: 323
Players Remaining: 77

Mike Cologna and Matthew Macaroni
At Table 52, seats eight and nine, we have two players starting the day with ten big blinds.  Matthew Macaroni came back to Day 2 the conventional way, while Mike Cologna went the "morning of" route.  Cologna had already gotten his double to lift himself over 100,000, while Macaroni was all-in for 58,500 as we approached the table.  Daniel Couzens was in the small blind and would look Macaroni up, with the big blind folding:

Macaroni: A 10♣
Couzens: A♠ 4♠

Runout: 9 Q 6♠ K♣ 2♠

Matthew would double to over 120,000, with Couzens taking a small hit to his stack.  A few more notables were spotted leaving the tournament area, as Eric Rappaport and Jeffrey Gottesman have ended their days earlier than wanted.
