Some Epic Battles Rage On

While most of the days heads-up matches have been ending in relatively short order, a few others have been dragging on.

One of the day's longest fights has been between Troy Sprungl and Leon Yanovski at Table 22. When they started heads-up play more than two hours ago, Sprungl had 40,000 chips to Yanovski's 5,000. That lead has since reversed - and reversed again - throughout the afternoon.

Currently, Yanovski is in the lead, but no one is sure how long that will last.

Two other strong heads-up matches are also being fought. At Table 95, Craig Gray and Tommy Hang have been trading pots, with Hang currently in the lead with 29,000 chips.

Victor Ramdin is also heads up and is currently a 3-2 dog with 18,000 chips vs. his opponent's 27,000 chip stack.
