Action folded to Kacper Pyzara in the small blind. Pyzara, who started out second in chips today, made it 30,000 to go. Big blind Daniel Cates three-bet to 90,000 and Pyzara made the call.

The flop came and Pyzara checked. Cates made a bet of 70,000 and Pyzara called.

The river paired the board with the and Pyzara checked for the third consecutive time. Cates didn't hesitate too long before he tried to shove all of his chips in. 'Tried' we say, as it took some effort, but eventually he had a grip on all of his 349,000 and moved them over the line in one movement.

Pyzara grabbed a single 1,000 chip and almost instantly called by tossing it in, but in the end he changed his mind and he didn't finish his movement. He tanked for a fair bit; it was obvious to everyone at the table that he wasn't the happiest camper in the room.

After another two minutes or so, he reluctantly swooshed a single chip from his stack to the middle to indicate the call. Cates proudly and full of confidence showed his . Pyzara open mucked his , folded his arms, and let his head rest on the table. The dealer grabbed the 349,000 from his stack and moved them to his neighbor, Pyzara just wailed silently.

Daniel Cates is now the chip leader of the tournament as far as we can see, Pyzara one of the shorter stacks.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Cates	1,326,000	616,000
Kacper Pyzara	205,000	-655,000
