The field is shrinking quickly now, and the stacks are starting to become polarized as the shorties look for spots to play for double or nothing.

Wally Maddah was the most recent beneficiary of that trend. The player on the button moved all in for just over 20,000, and Maddah looked at one card in the small blind before calling to put his opponent at risk.

Button: Kd2c
Maddah: Ah7h

The board ran out blanks for both players, coming 9c6c4dJd8s. Maddah won the pot with ace-high, trimming the field by one in the process.
