He had to show a hand to get there, but Eric Afriat now leads heading into the final minutes of Level 12.
He led into a 
flop, then snap-called when one player came over the top all in for some 25,000.
Afriat's 
was good against his opponent's bluffy 
and held on an 
run out to give him another notch on the belt and the chiplead.

Darryll Fish just doubled into contention.
He's now well over 200,000 and climbing after five-bet shoving two queens before the flop and getting the call from one opponent on big slick.
Fish won the flip fading all aces and kings on a board of blanks.

Facing an 8,400-chip bet and a call from Laurence Grondin on a 
flop, Xuan Liu shipped it in.
The original raiser followed suit and Grondin gave up. Liu had been lucky, flopping two pair with against her opponent's 
.
That luck ran out fast, however, when the turn gave her opponent a better two pair. She hit the rail following the 
river.
