Bouncing around the room...

Mihalyo Demidenko has accumulated a few more chips, moving up to 172,000 and into the lead.

Just behind him is Viktor Ivanov. Ivanov was just in a small hand with "Miami" John Cernuto. Both checked the {7-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. The turn brought the {4-Spades} and a bet of 2,000 from Ivanov, forcing Cernuto to fold. Ivanov has 165,000 now. Cernuto has chipped up a bit today, too, and has 69,000.

Over at Table 3, a player in the hijack limped, Alexander Rykov called from the small blind, then Dragan Galic raised to 5,500 from the big blind, prompting both opponents to fold. When tossing the cards dealerward, Galic tried to throw them face up. The {A-Clubs} was visible, while the other turned over and was scooped by the dealer before showing. The table quizzed Galic. "I show my aces and you don't see?" he asked. "We saw one," was the response. Galic grinned and offered no further explanation.

Galic has reason to smile, having built up to 158,000. Rykov, meanwhile, has struggled so far today, slipping to 74,000.
