Andrew Pantling: 1,989,000
Kara Scott: 1,996,000
Christer Johansson: 1,407,000
Atanas Gueorguiev: 1,626,000
Kara Scott leads at the moment, but there's not much in it. We could see the pace slow a little when they get back -- unless, of course, some sort of deal is struck.

Gueorguiev in action
After a couple of pots fizzled out on the flop (one going to Johansson, one to Kara Scott) a bigger one grew between preflop raiser Andrew Pantling and Atanas Gueorguiev. The latter had limped on the small blind and then called Pantling's 50,000 raise.
Both players checked the flop, but Gueorguiev bet 85,000 on the turn. Pantling called. The river brought the . Gueorguiev checked, Pantling bet 56,000, Gueorguiev quickly raised to 215,000. Pantling made the call -- only to find the Bulgarian on a set of fives which took down the pot. Pantling is on the decline, it looks like, for the first time in three days.

Scott - taking it very seriously
Atanas Gueorguiev and Andrew Pantling limped in on the cutoff and button respectively, only for Kara Scott to make it 180,000 from the small blind. Gueorguiev didn't fancy it, but Pantling made the call and they saw a flop. Scott bet out 250,000, and Pantling gave it up there.

Come on my sson!

Johansson made the call. The turn brought the and after some deliberation, a bet of 340,000 from Pantling. With no deliberation whatsoever, Johansson moved all in.

Atanas Gueorguiev raised to 68,000 form the button and got looked up by Kara Scott in the big blind. Scott checked the flop and Gueorguiev bet 80,000; Scott decided she didn't like her hand that much any more, and passed.

Kara Scott has really been consolidating her chip lead of late. Most recently faced with a 75,000 under-the-gun raise from Atanas Gueorguiev, she reraised to 200,000 from the small blind, eliciting a fold from the Bulgarian.

Four pots in a row to Andrew Pantling. He takes one with a straight raise preflop, then two more by coming over the top of preflop raisers (Christer Johansson and Atanas Gueorguiev) with raises to 235,000 and 215,000. The fourth time, he's on the button, it's come full circle, and he takes the blinds once again. Not used to being the short stack, Pantling is doing his very best to stop being it.

Andrew Pantling raised to 80,000 under the gun, called by an expressionless Atanas Gueorguiev in the big blind.
Flop:
Gueorguiev checked to Pantling who bet 100,000 -- and then check-raised to 275,000. Pantling announced "All in" with only the slightest of pauses, and after a moment's thought, his expression still giving nothing away, Gueorguiev passed.
