Hanson, Deeb, and Filippi are all close to the overall lead.

Freddy Deeb:
Amnon Filippi:
3rd: Filippi brings it in for 20,000, Fitoussi completes to 80,000, Deeb raises to 160,000, Filippi folds, and Fitoussi thinks for a minute before he calls.
4th: Deeb bets 80,000, and Fitoussi folds. Freddy Deeb takes the pot.
The game switches to seven card stud, eight or better, with antes of 20,000, a bring in of 20,000, and a completion of 80,000. The limits are 80,000-160,000. Play continues without a break.
There were 13 hands of Stud. Amnon Filippi won 5 pots along with John Hanson. Kenny Tran won one pot, while Bruno Fitoussi was quiet during the last round and he did not win any. Freddy Deeb won two pots, but he also lost two pots worth over 2.6M or a net loss of 1.3M.
Stud was the round when the players decided to start with messy stacks, so we lost the ability to have an updated and accurate chip count. It appears that John Hanson and Amnon Filippi are the top two.
