James McManus is the current leader.

When all the dust had settled on the preflop action, Garth Paul's whole stack of 350,000 was in the middle against 350,000 of James McManus' chips. McManus had the best hand with {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

, but he was racing against Paul's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. Both players hit the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

flop. The turn {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

gave Paul a flush draw to go along with his gutshot straight draw against McManus' set, but the river blanked out the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

. Paul was eliminated on the hand.

McManus is our presumptive chip leader at this time, with approximately 3.4 million in chips.
