Leon Morford
Leon Morford

Leon Morford has leapfrogged Jason Mirza at the top of the leaderboard after a huge heads-up pot between the two.

The action wasn't clear but the gist of it was Morford rivered a set of deuces against Mizra's open-ended straight flush draw.

Go Gone

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Kenneth Go busted 18th when he shoved {j-}{k-} and James Kasputis made the call behind him holding two queens.

A queen on the flop gave Kasputis a set for good measure.

Leon Morford

Leon Morford had built it up over 1.5 million when he found himself on the wrong end of a flush-over-flush debacle versus Matthew Vaughan.

The money went in on the turn of a {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board with Morford on {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Vaughan holding {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

It appears there's now a log jam at the top of the leaderboard.

Like A Phoenix

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

After suffering a tough beat at the hands of Greg Koutelidakis earlier, Tyler Van Elzen has risen from the ashes again to build a contending stack.

His most recent move up the ladder came with big slick as he found a king to double through Dan Meddaugh.

In the meantime, Koutelidakis has crested the one million chip mark over on another table.

Jason Mirza
Jason Mirza

Jason Mirza has moved into the top spot on the leaderboard after busting Mike Ross.

Ross got a little short and open-shoved {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} only to find the suddenly resurgent Mirza on {a-}{q-}.

Mirza spiked an ace and Ross whiffed to hit the rail.
