Klaser: {6-Hearts}

Poleshchuk: {A-Clubs}

The turn came the {4-Spades}

What was a lightning fast day yesterday does not appear to be repeating itself thus far this afternoon. Once the money has been reached in a tournament, play typically goes faster until we approach the remaining few who have a good shot at making the final table.

But that is not the case here in the Brasilia room, where bustouts tend to be an occasional thing. We've lost more than twenty players in the first two levels of play and we still have quite a ways to go before reaching the final nine.

Haddad Moves Into First

[user65508]

Joseph Haddad eliminated Damon Singer after getting all their chips in the middle preflop. Haddad held A-A-6-8 while Singer sat with A-2-3-8. The board paired on the turn, which kept Haddad's pocket aces in for two-pair. After the hand, Haddad is up to 122,000 and is our new chip leader.

Of interesting note, he's also the first player to break 100,000.
