The players are now off on a 15-minute break as the tournament staff colors up and removes the 25 denomination chips.

Sorry Don, I Don't Remember

Don Morris

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada's Don Morris claims he's a recreational player and the massive stack sitting in front of him right now came purely through luck and good fortune.

"I'm no professional," he said. "I just can't miss. I'm on a roll."

In fact, he's rolled all the way into the chip lead heading into the second break and looking more and more like a wolf in sheep's clothing with every flop, turn and river.

Mike Rellinger

Mike Rellinger's quest to build a big stack and hold on to it continues here at Seneca Niagara.

He just made a tough call when two players with the same flush draw pushed into his top-pair top-kicker.

He faded all trouble to bust both and is now working with 40,000.

He made a set of fives against top-top, then picked up aces to pick up a big pot before getting into a blind-roll for stacks with another player.

He ended up with {k-}{7-} all in preflop without looking and held versus {q-}{5-} to push up over 50,000 in chips.
