With just a short while left on Day 2 of the ANZPT Queenstown Main Event, Jonathan Bredin is easily the chip leader. He just eliminated [Removed:17] in one of those hands that will go down as "the biggest of the tournament so far."

Yan then five-bet to 29,000 and it was back on Bredin, who moved all in. Yan made a fairly quick call and a huge pot was created.
