MrPaulSeaton

Level 43 : 200,000/400,000, 40,000 ante

Jacob Mulhern has the 'golden' chip lead...but can he outlast the others?

One of these players will win a £100,000 last longer. Whoever is last man standing of the seven names below will win that magical six-figure score, and with 72 players left, almost 10% of the field have that golden chip.

As you can tell from the counts, Jacob Mulhern has the lead of he surviving players, but he is being hotly pursued by Marteus Rypulak and Jonas Lauck. Both Thomas Dunwoodie and Tomas Fara could do with an improvement in the very near future.

An odd quirk is that three of the seven players have the name Thomas or one of its variations.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jacob Mulhern	39,500,000	4,400,000
Mateusz Rypulak	32,200,000	3,350,000

Level 43 : 200,000/400,000, 40,000 ante

Andrew Tuxworth started the day with one of the shorter stacks in the field, but in an impressive turn of events, the Nottingham local have turned it around, and are now sitting on more than double the average stack.

Just now Tuxworth took a stand against the former chipleader, Vicente Delgado, to rake in another pot. On a board Tuxworth bet 600,000 out of the big blind, Delgado made it a cool 2 million before Tuxworth reraised to 5 million. That was enough to take the pot.
