Crawford vs. Kirk
Level 21
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Claudia Crawford opened for 17,000 only to have two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Tripp Kirk, who is seated to her direct left, three-bet to 41,000. The rest of the field folded, Crawford called and the flop came down 
. Crawford seized the initiative by leading out for 50,000, but Kirk put her to the test by moving all in. Crawford thought long and hard but eventually opted to fold.
It wasn't much of a hand but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their chip counts.

Quick Fall for RIos
Level 21
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Not long ago Pedro Rios was left with just 25,000 after he got called an opponent's all-in shove for 210,000. Rios held 
on a 
flop against his opponent's 
. Neither the 
turn nor 
river help Rios and he was crippled.
About ten minutes later, Rios got his small stack all in preflop holding 
and was racing against the 
of Sean Winter. Rios couldn't catch last time, and this time he wouldn't hold as Winter ended up making Broadway. With that, a disappointed Rios made his way to the payout desk.

Jivkov Reigns Supreme
Level 21
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Nick Jivkov is like a chip magnet. The three-time ring winner and WSOP gold bracelet holder has went on an incredible run and now appears to be the chip leader.
We didn't catch the hand that got him up to 800,000, but he was kind enough to tell us about it. According to him, a player opened for a standard raise and he called from the big blind with 
. The 
flop saw Jivkov check-raise his opponent's 22,000 bet up to 56,000, a call was made and a turned. From there Jivkov led out for 68,000 and then snap-called with his two pair when his opponent, who ended up having 
moved all in.
And that is the story of how our current chip leader came to reign supreme.
