: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Laidlaw is now the chip leader after he was won a handy pot off of former leader Jonathan Bredin.
The hand began with Laidlaw opening with a raise from under the gun. Bredin called out of the small blind and the dealer flipped over a 
flop. Bredin led for 52,000 and Laidlaw called. The turn was a 
and Bredin led for 85,000. Laidlaw called and a 
completed the board on the river.
This time Bredin opted to check, at which point Laidlaw led for 120,000. Bredin eventually made the call and Laidlaw tabled 
- the trip aces was enough to sent Bredin's 
into the muck.
