On a board reading 
Simon Hoffmann bet 50,000 using two of the shiny new 25-000 value pink chips which have been brought into play at the previous break.
His opponent Igor Kazhdan had improved from his overnight stack during the first three levels, and was looking to make a move up the leaderboard now that less than 90 players remain.
