Mian Wei had been dominating proceedings heads-up and had whittled Mario Sanchez Cano down to 609,000 chips. However, Sanchez is back in business after his 
stayed ahead to bead Wei's 
with the five community cards falling

While there haven't been many large pots of note, Mario Sanchez Cano seems the more composed of the heads-up duo, as you would be had you been six cards away from falling in second place.
Sanchez now holds a 1.7 million to 900,000 chip lead and the ball is firmly in his court.

Mian Wei has the chip lead once more after winning two sizeable pots in quick succession to leave his Spanish opponent rattled.
The first saw Mario Sanchez Cano check-call a bet of 55,000 on the 
flop, then check the 
turn before check-calling a 150,000 bet on the river only to much when shown Wei's 
.
The second saw him pay off a large 225,000 bet on the river, only to muck and look to the heavens when Wei showed 
that had improved to a straight on the river.

With the board reading 
, Mian Wei checked and watched on as Matio Sanchez Cano bet 115,000. After a few moments, Wei check-raised to 400,000 and Sanchez made the call.
Wei checked the flush-completing on the river and Sanchez moved all-in for 782,000. Wei dropped half of a tower of orange 25,000 chips and rubbed his face. He sat squirming in his seat while he made his decision, finally settling on a fold.
As Wei's cards hit the muck, Sanchez showed the 
for a missed straight draw, much to the delight of his amigos on the rail who cheered loudly at their hero's bluff.

Mian Wei has informed Mario Sanchez that Sanchez has scary eyes and that he shouldn't be so serious, that they should have fun. With £40,000 difference between first and second place, we doubt there will be much fun had until the proverbial fat woman sings.
The players have opted to take a ten minute break before the next level starts. Could this be the final level? Stay tuned to find out.
