Some of the stacks are becoming huge right now while others are feeling the pressure of the blinds and are dwindling down. With the blinds at 8,000/16,000, the action was opened by Christian Rho who made it 40,000 to go. A few seats to his left, Karl Albert ripped it in for his tournament life. It folded back to Rho who instantly made the call.

Albert:
Rho:

Albert had a premium hand with his pocket jacks but Rho also was holding a premium with his AK suited. The flop came and Rho jumped into the lead after hitting his ace. The turn and river didn’t change anything and since Rho had Albert covered, he picked up a nice addition to add to his stack while Albert was sent to the rail with his tournament coming to an end.

The tournament is now 18 away from the bubble. A break will be coming up shortly and the last leaderboard of the night will be published.
