Three Big Stacks; Two Middle Stacks
Level 42
: 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante
Two barrels by Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts were enough to earn a pot against Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress on a 
turn as he nearly closed the gap to the Canadian. By then, "Alexgirs" had pulled into the lead by winning two pots against Alex "dynoalot" Difelice, who then got most of those chips back by three-betting "Alexgirs.
In the very first hand of the new level, Difelice open-shoved out of the small blind and "Alexgirs" forfeited his big blind. Difelice was near even with Pablo "pabritz" Brito with plenty of big blinds at his disposal while the top three stacks were also very close together.
