We are down to the final six tables here in the Almighty Stack and a new chip leader has emerged.

Harry Korotki doubled through Jimmy Le scooping a massive pot to vault to the top of the chip counts. He is now sitting behind a mountain of close to thirteen million.

"It's alright I'll get them back" joked Le but for now it's Korotki pacing the field with just 54 players left in the hunt.

In one of the last hands before break at the previous blind level John McGuinness raised to 500,000. The big blind defended and they went heads up to the {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} flop.

The big blind check called a bet of 600,000 from McGuinness and the {2-Spades} hit the turn.

The player checked and McGuinness tossed out a bet of 1,500,000. His opponent check-raised all in for close to 5,000,000 and McGuinness called.

The player turned over {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for bottom set but he was drawing to just one out as McGuinness showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a set of fives.

The {3-Clubs} river card sealed the deal for McGuinness who earned the knockout and dragged in the monster pot.

Lunique Petiote had been flying a bit under the radar but that is certainly no longer the case.

Petiote has vaulted to the top of the chip counts and he's now sitting behind a mountain of 20,000,000.

It's a neck and neck battle for the chip lead between Petiote and Arnaldo "AG" Gordon as day two winds down.

The big stacks are currently sharing the felt so there's plenty of potential for a monster pot if these two big stacks should elect to clash.
