With just 53,000, David Ventura was the shortest stack heading into the final day, but from the small acorns, mighty trees grow, and Ventura's stack is already showing sign of growth.
The opponent looking to deroot him from the tournament was the man who started the day as a giant redwood, Michael Linn. With Ventura pushing all in from late position with
