Steven Przybl just took on chip leaders William Liang and Jeff Wells over on the table of doom.
He checked a 
flop and when Liang led for 40,000 and Wells made it 80,000, he check-raise shipped it in for some 266,500 total. Liang wasted little time letting it go before Wells tank-folded.
Przybl is now up among the leaders at a table where four out of the biggest stacks in the room sit.
