Vincent Jacques looks to be our new chip leader with over 300,000 after he eliminated Jerome Bradpiece and won a decent side pot at the same time. There was an initial raise and Bradpiece had moved all in for about 35,000 behind. Jacques called from the big blind and the initial raiser called as well to see a flop where the OR bet 44,000, Jacques check-raised all in and his opponent tank-folded after some serious consideration.
Jacques flipped to Bradpiece's and the board bricked out for the Englishman as the French-Canadian, who finished second to Praz Bansi in a $1,500 event last year, jumps into the chip lead.
Coincidentally, Bansi himself has just been knocked out.
Estonian Imre Leibold has just doubled up to 110,000 after winning a big flip with against for his tournament life when the board came for a substantial boost to his stack.
Both Jeff Madsen and Martin Jacobson were at the same table and knocked out in back to back hands.

Bui quickly called with and was up against , the board coming to give her a big pot and move over the six-figure mark.
We didn't quite catch how it happened, but Vitaly Lunkin's were up against an all in player at his table's
The board ran out The flop gave kings to the all in player, but the turn completed Lunkin's straight (amazingly, no one had a heart in their hand) and he took the extra 40,000 chips and moved them right into his stack. He is now sitting with about 130,000 which is more than double average at this point.
Kevin Williams is up to 185,000 after winning a huge pot with top two pair. There had been a raise with two callers and Williams made the call in the small blind with and the big blind joined in with the fun.
