Neilson Accumulating Quickly
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Just before the break, Daniel Neilson went on his own little war path, accumulating chips at will. When we returned and walked passed his table, he was sitting behind a stack amassing 400,000 in chips.
We found out that the big hand he was involved in was worth over 200,000 in chips, with his opponent moving all in on a jack-high board with top-pair and a flush draw against his top –two-pair. He held, moving him up to over 300,000 and he won a few small pots from there.
After the break, he didn’t slow down. He opened to 5,000 from middle position, before [Removed:17] raised to 11,800 from the hijack. It folded back around to Neilson, who quickly threw in 25,000 in chips, bringing a fold from Yan.
Neilson will be hard to stop, with 430,000 in chips in his possession.

Huge Hand on Table 27
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
We arrived at the table to see the board spread out 
and three players all-in. Alexander Margina was all in for his last 50,000, another player with just under 100,000 and [Removed:17] having them covered with an additional 50,000 in chips.
Margina: 
Yan: 
Opponent: 
Margina was in front with the straight, and would have to dodge any club, jack or nine that would give his opponent the victory. It ended with the 
completing the board, locking the main pot to Margina. Yan was looking good to take the big side pot, but was rivered by a straight, to see him come out third-best in the hand.

Birman Busts

and found a call from the player in the small blind who tabled 
. Birman paired up the 
flop but the turn card fell in favour of his opponent. The river was the to see Birman sent to the rail.

De Cesare Misses Royal
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Amanda De Cesare’s tournament has been brought to a halt in a big three-way all-in clash. Octavian Voegele was the big stack, covering two all-in opponents, and he made the call of around 30,000 with 
to discover he was actually in front of both 
and De Cesare’s 
.
“Hold!!!” Voegele laughed knowing he had to fade a lot of cards. The flop was 
to give the third player trip tens but De Cesare had flopped a Royal Flush draw. However the 
turn and river saw Voegele lose some change as De Cesare departed the tournament floor.

Lechich Makes His Run Late
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We arrived at the table to find [Removed:17] and Tino Lechich all-in before the flop. Lechich tabled 
and was way in front of the 
tabled by Yan.
The board ran out 
, and after a count of the chips, it was determined that Lechich had Yan covered, sending him to the rail just before the last level of play.
Lechich moves up to 140,000 in chips.
