The last time we checked on Jonathan Aguiar's progress we had him on 2,900 and now he is up to 8,800. However, had we looked in on him a few moments earlier we would have seen him with 10,300.

Germany's Manig Loeser is flying high in Event #30 and is one of the tournament's chip leader.
Loeser has just lost a pot when he saw the player to his immediate right open to 850 from late position. Loeser three-bet him to 2,325 and his opponent gave up.
