Over at table 13, Hungary's Zoltan Barabas is sitting behind a very impressive stack of 165,000. While sipping on a glass of Chardonnay, Barabas talked us through two big hands that skyrocketed him to the top of the standings.

In the first hand, Barabas opened with the optional {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} from under the gun. A player to his left called and the flop came down {K-}{6-}{X-}. Barabas bet and his opponent called.

The {6-} on the turn gave Barabas trip sixes and he bet 4,000. His opponent raised to 11,000 and Barabas called. The {J-} on the river completed the Hungarian's full house, and he check-called an all-in shove. His opponent couldn't muster up more than a king and was eliminated.

In the second hand, Barabas raised on the button with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and a player defended his big blind. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-} and the big blind led out 1,000. Barabas raised to 3,300, the big blind shoved for 25,000 and Barabas called.

The big blind showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the flopped straight, but the turn was a diamond to seal another big pot for the Hungarian.
