In what ultimately ended up a battle of the blinds, Mark Vos was able to double through to 11,500 in chips just before the break.

On a flop of {8-Spades}

Vos led out with a 400 bet and was raised to 1,000 by the big blind. Vos then reraised, kicking it up to 2,900 and his opponent made the call.

The {5-Clubs}

fell on the turn and Vos open-shoved all in for just 2,475. His opponent made the call and showed {10-Hearts}

. Vos revealed {Q-Clubs}

for the nut straight. An irrelevant {8-?}

came on the river and Vos stacked up ~11,500 in new chips -- a timely double-up just before the break.

Ayaz Mahmood has just retaken the top spot on the leaderboard after outflopping an opponent's pocket kings with his own pocket fours.

Mahmood had limped into the hand from the cutoff and the action folded around to an unknown player in the small blind, who made it 1,500 to play. Mahmood made the call and saw a flop of {6-Spades}

, giving him bottom set.

His opponent then open-shoved his last 6,000 into the middle and Mahmood made a quick call. Blanks on both the turn and river cemented the hand for Mahmood, who now sits with a field-leading stack of ~44,000.
