Chen Slipping
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Andrew Chen is the shortest stack at this point and will have to make a move of some kind soon. He had opened to 80,000 on the button but folded when Leonid Markin made it 240,000 in the big blind.
A couple of hands later and Chen, Markin and Fady Kamar were in a pot together. Kamar had fired a bet of 90,000 on a 
flop after Chen checked, Markin called and so did the Canadian. The came on the turn, it was checked to Markin who bet 260,000. Chen tanked briefly and folded and Kamar followed suit.

Momentum Shifting to McCorkell?
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Craig McCorkell is slowly asserting his authority in the four handed play. Sitting second in chips he has been opening a lot more pots that Markin has recently and everything he has been doing lately seems to be working as he gradually chips up.
Admittedly this is over a small sample size of hands, and fortunes can always change in a single hand, but he looks at the moment as if his confidence is up as Markin takes a little break from the aggression, Andrew Chen remains handcuffed by his stack size and Fady Kamar is stuck somewhere in the middle.

McCorkell/Markin Sparring
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
It's been fairly quiet recently on this High Roller final table. The first three-bet in a while came courtesy of Craig McCorkell, who made it 240,000 on the button after Leonid Markin had raised to 80,000 from under-the-gun/cutoff. Markin gave it a good couple of minutes before folding.
The next hand saw McCorkell raised to 80,000 and Markin call in the big blind. The two checked a board of 
down to the river where Markin showed but McCorkell won with 
.
The two were then involved in a blind-on-blind battle, Markin raising to 80,000 and McCorkell calling. The Russian won with a 135,000 bet on the flop.
