Biggest Pot of the Tournament...

...has produced a new chip leader. Holding {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} in the small blind, "cdnblaster" got involved in a preflop raising war with "flavioreis88", culminating with "flavioreis88" six-bet shoving for 142,768 with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

Nothing crazy happened as the board ran out {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{A-Hearts} to give "cdnblaster" the chip lead.

Tom Marchese

Tom "kingsofcards" Marchese has steadily risen up the chip counts, but just suffered a slight setback.

He raised to 3,600 in the hijack and on his left, "JoseGuti" shoved for 34,670 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Marchese who mulled it over briefly before calling with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, traling "JoseGuti's" {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

The board ran out {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} to give "JoseGuti" the pot. Marchese, though, is still sitting with an above average stack.
