Level 11
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
After taking the chiplead into the first break, Mica Tobosarevic is out! There were a few shocked expressions as heads turned to see Tobosarevic putting his bag on as the dealer declared, "seat open!"
It turns out he distributed his chips relatively evenly amongst the players on table 29 and, as his 269,000-chip stack crumbled, it was Klaus Aichholzer who took over role as chipleader.
Aichholzer's latest victim was Germany's Bodo Sbrzesny, who put his last 30,000 in with 
and failed to hold against 
on an 
runout. It was almost no surprise to the table that the ace would land for Aichholzer, suggesting this wasn't the first time he'd found his way out of a sticky situation. Luck or otherwise, his 253,000 chips currently leads our 62 remaining players.

Top Of The Pile With Top Two Pair
Level 12
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
We joined the action on table 30, with David Schuster raising a bet of 15,000 to 30,000 on the 
flop. His opponent chuckled after realising it was a min-raise, and quickly tossed the chips in to make the call.
The 
hit the turn, with Schuster betting 30,000 again when checked to. His opponent clearly didn't look comfortable but, adfter some consideration, elected to call and see a river.
The dealer put the 
on the river, and this time it was Schuster facing the 30,000-chip bet. He didn't think for very long at all, before extending his arm and releasing a handful of blue, 10,000-value chips. As his opponent squinted to see how much it would cost her to make the call, the dealer cut down the raise, counting out 90,000. After a minute or so, she made the call, with Schuster very confidently tabling 
for top two pair.
His opponent sighed and revealed the 
, mucking her other card, as 320,000 chips were pushed Schuster's way.

Levelling Late On
Level 15
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
It doesn't look like there's any trust between players on table 35, as the player in the small blind check-called a bet of 35,000 on the turn, on a board reading 
before leading out on the 
river for 80,000. His opponent thought for close to two minutes, having counted out the chips to call and placing them back on his stack several times, before finally arriving at a fold.
The player in the small blind seemed disgusted that he wasn't 80,000 chips better off. "Were you thinking of calling with ace high?!" he inquired.
"Something like that," came the response.
"I had you beat pre, on the flop, on the turn, on the river! I thought you'd put me on a busted draw!" boasting the best hand and threatening to show it, before deciding instead to slide it into the muck and pick up the pot.
