Bauer Power
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Frankly, the number of huge stacks in the room seems a bit ridiculous for this point in the tournament. The latest name to top the counts is Joao Bauer, who weighs in at 144,000. He just relieved the opponent to his left of 30,000 chips, first by raising pre-flop to 1,700. On a flop of 
, Bauer led out for 3,000, then called a raise to 9,500. Bauer check-called 10,000 more on the 
turn and another 10,000 on the river. His opponent showed down 
for two pair, sixes and fives. Bauer tabled two tens, 
, to collect the pot.

. He was slightly behind the button's 
. It was a river king on a board of 
that gave Salles the pot and knocked his opponent out of the tournament.
Salles now has about 35,000 in chips.
