Paul Alterman (top) has regained the comfortable 25k+ stack he was heading towards in the very early levels after a confrontation with Mickey Wernick. I actually took Mickey's photo before the hand, as I intended to remark on how many small denom chips he'd accrued so early - and in fact how very healthy his stack looked, in the mid 30,000s.
Then he got involved with Alterman, raising to 1,400 preflop. The flop: 9h-Qh-Td. Alterman bet out (from the small blind) 2,200, which Wernick called. The turn was the 8h. Now Alterman checked, and Wernick bet somewhere around 6k - quickly re-raised all-in by his trappy opponent. Wernick looked at the pot - around 17k, his stack (now 22k) and the amount to call Alterman - 7,625. After a lengthy deliberation, he opted for the fold, letting go of the table-chip-leader title.
