Shifting Stacks

While those with 60k+ are pulling even further away from the pack, it was hard to find major action in the centre of the Main Ballroom just now - maybe it should be renamed the Small Ballroom. A few chips went to Boris Becker as he raised preflop and took a pot with a stab at the {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} but went right over to Khiem Nguyen when he moved from button to blind and called an under-the-gun raise from Nguyen. Both players checked the {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, and Becker tried a lead out (500) on the {10-Spades} turn, but when the river came the {J-Diamonds} he gave up, check-folding to Nguyen's 1,475.

Elsewhere the start of level five seems to have seen a lot more cautious play and small pots - maybe all the crazies busted out already in what was admittedly a pretty ferocious start today.
