Players are back from break.
When his table broke, Matt Woodward landed at table 15, to the right of Matt Glantz. Also sharing this patch of green is Mike Dentale, Joe Pitti, John Lakatosh, and Andrew St. Hilaire.
Matt's got about 320k and I believe he is still the chip leader.

Champ: Borovetz v. Woodward
$2500 + $200 Championship NLH
Blinds 600/1,200, 100 ante
Back on table 19, Michael Borovetz (Pittsburgh, PA) and start-of-day-two-chip-leader Matt Woodward (Waterboro, ME) tangled in a pot.
On the turn, the board showed J♦4♥3♦T♥. Matt (sb) was facing a 25k bet from Michael (there was a short-stack already all-in).
Matt called and the river was the 3♣. Matt checked, Michael bet 30k, and Matt folded.
Michael showed two black Queens and the all-in player mucked. He chipped up to ~225k.
Matt is up to 380k and probably still the chip leader.
Table 19 will be the next one to break, so these players will be moving to new tables soon.
