Marc-Andre Ladouceur got the last 588,000 of his chips into the pot with 
, and that was a very bad thing when chip leader Pius Heinz woke up with 
.
Things got better for Ladouceur, but he had to sweat it out for five cards. The board ran 
, and the nine-ball in the corner pocket gives Ladouceur the unlikely double. He's back close to 1.25 million now, while Heinz falls from the top shelf, dropping down to 3.35 million.

The turn brought the 
and both players checked.
The 
completed the board and both players checked again. Cheong flipped over 
for a rivered pair of fours and Jace mucked.
Cheong is up to 1,500,000 while Jace has slid to 1,900,000.
In one of the first few hands back from the dinner break, Amanda Musumeci has won a giant pot to up her stack to around 1.5 million. We came to the table with her heads up against Daniel Retallick on a board that read 
. There was about 180,000 in the pot already, and Musumeci assembled a bet of 175,000 and slid it into the middle. Retallick thought for about 20 seconds before announcing call. Musumeci casually flipped up 
for quads, and Retallick mucked his hand. Musumeci is now up to 1.4 million, and is looking to be a threat down the stretch tonight.

: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Over on the secondary feature table, Niall Charlton opened with a raise from middle position, and it folded back to Ben Lamb who called from the big blind.
The flop came
