Francis Foord-Brown will be going into the dinner break as the chipleader. Foord-Brown won two big hands to move him up to one million.
In one hand, Foord-Brown got three streets of value with pocket aces against pocket queens, in the other hand he rivered a set of nines against top two pair. Besides that, Foord-Brown is running good in coinflip situations today, as he told PokerNews just before the break.
Rauno Tahvonen is starting to make waves in this tournament. The Estonian just made a sharp call against Christopher Yong, holding nothing but a measly third pair with a bad kicker. Yong had a busted flush draw and lost over 150,000 in the hand to Tahvonen.
