: 250/500, 50 ante

Mauro Francolini appears to have shrugged off the cooler hand he lost to frontrunner Zhongcai Peng earlier and is now back in the running with a stack of 33,500. Bart Luyckx is trying his luck once again and is sitting with a brand new 30,000 stack.
Both High Roller bustouts, Preston Lee and Phanlert Sukonthachartnant, are taking things slowly with stacks of 31,000 and 27,500 respectively with the chip lead still belonging to Peng, who has run his stack up to 123,000.
