We caught up with the action on a flop, where Dominik Nitsche was in the cutoff seat against one other opponent in the big blind position.
Nitsche's opponent fired 10,000 into the middle and Nitsche responded by announcing he was all in, which was enough to put his opponent all in for his last 60,000.
"I think I'm ahead....you could be on a draw," he said.
After about two minutes, Nitsche called the clock, which meant the tournament director came over and gave Nitsche's opponent a minute to act on his hand or it would be dead.
"I will respect your big stack young man," he said and then folded.
"I will show if you tell me your hand," Nitsche said.

Sebastien Comel started the day in the middle of the chip counts but has since risen to sit near the top. We recently watched Comel eliminate a player on a board, with Comel holding against . We didn't see when all the chips went in, but suffice it to say, Comel's wheel sent the set into the muck and a player out the door.
With the board showing and about 20,000 in the middle, Dominik Nitsche led from the blinds with a bet of 12,500, then Webber Kang raised to 33,000 from late position. Nitsche thought a beat, then set out a stack of orange (5,000) chips for a reraise to 100,000, and Kang called with the chips he had left.
