We've got chips counts. The notable stacks have been updated during the dinner break, so be sure to click the Chip Counts tab. Here's a look at the Top 5 on the leaderboard:
We returned to the fabled table #4 to find a growing pot between Phil Ivey and Kirill Kruglov. We weren't able to catch what happened preflop, but what we do know is that on a flop Kruglov bet out 1,800 from the big blind. The under the gun Ivey made the call, and both players got to see the turn.
With a landing on the turn we had a repeat of action when Kruglov bet out, this time 3,600. Ivey took a few moments and made the call. A river allowed for a 7,200 bet from Kruglov. This time Ivey went into the tank pondering what his opponent might have. Three minutes of Ivey measuring out chips and sizing up his opponent went by before he threw out a call. Kruglov flipped over for a set of aces and Ivey stoically mucked his whole cards.
We just saw Yevgeniy Timoshenko triple up in the easiest way possible. He was all-in for 5,075 holding pocket aces and both of his opponents had pocket jacks. Timoshenko now has 16,000 and his opponents split the side pot, one of which was Kirill Kruglov.
Joe Tehan has $3.7 million in live tournament earnings to his name including a six-figure score in a mix-max tournament. Add 115,000 chips into the mix and you have all of the ingredients of a great showing in Event #6. He is up to 115,000 courtesy of eliminated Mohsin Charania in a cooler with pocket kings versus queens.
Kyle Julius has eliminated WSOP Bracelet owner Andrew Badecker. Badecker, who finished 3rd in Event #2 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em for $224,029, was eliminated when he ran his pocket fives into the pocket queens of Julius.
"You always get me," said Badecker as he packed up his things.
The total prizepool for Event #6 is $1,922,300. 44 places will be paid with the lower tier of the ladder receiving $9,503 for their troubles. First prize stands at a juicy looking $480,564.
We managed to catch up to World Series of Poker Europe bracelet winner Tristan Wade getting involved in a pot with a player in early position. We do not know exactly how the action went, but after a reraise from Wade preflop his opponent moved all in. Wade snap called and flipped over . Wade's opponent then tabled a meekly
Both players were about even in stacks and it wasn't exactly clear who had more chips. With about 55,000 in the middle the loser of the hand would essentially be out. With a flop Wade went from pent house to potential out house in a matter of seconds. A turn and a river were no help to Wade. Chips were counted and Wade held 125 more chips than his opponent so he still had at least one hand to play.
That one last hand came during the very next deal where Wade moved in for less than the big blind and only managed to get one caller after the player in the big blind isolated Wade with a raise, scaring everyone else away.

The dealer spread out a board and Wade was eliminated. With a quick "good luck everybody" Wade started his walk out of the Brasilia room.
