Emanuel Quinonez (Orlando, FL) was the second shortest stack returning from break, but just got a huge double to gain some breathing room.

Two of the shortest stacks at the table just got involved in a hand together, with Emanuel Quinonez all-in (and at risk) against Edward Novak.  Emanuel held 9♠ 5♠ on a 5♣ 5♦ 3♠ flop, having the best of it against Novak, who was holding A♥ 2♥.  Quinonez stood as the dealer ran out the turn and river, clench his fist in celebration when he won the hand.  Edward is now sitting with less than ten big blinds, but has more than half the level remaining (at 30,000 big blind).

Emanuel Quinonez - 770,000 (25bb)

Edward Novak - 240,000 (8bb)
