Shimizu in the Lead
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Several players have emerged with bigger stacks, but Takao Shimizu appears to be the current chip leader with more than three times the average. Other big stacks belong to Xiaqing Ji, Yuri Ishida, Michael Soyza, Ota Sera and Linh Tran.
Soyza just claimed a pot without showdown when he bet a 
turn for 20,000 into a pot of 30,000 to force a fold from his sole remaining opponent.
