With players now back from the dinner break, the quest begins for a chip leader. On the moment, there's no-one above 100,000 just yet but there are several stacks loitering with intent on the 80,000 mark. On the very top at this moment looks to be Sven Haberger with 82,500 getting back from break and is solely sooner than Anthony Ghamrawi who sits in second place with 82,000. Ghamrawi finished second at EPT Vienna for over €440,000 back in March. Since then he also cashed on the EPT Grand Final coming 51st for €24,400.
Other stacks in contention include Jan Bures (81,000) who was featured earlier in our "A round with..." post while Briski István also has 80,000. Thomas Scheld (78,500) is a typical here in Rozvadov and likewise cashed at EPT Berlin for €14,000 back in Season 6 when Kevin MacPhee was the champion.
PokerStars qualifier Colin Lovelock (72,000) has travelled around the globe to play PokerStars events. Most recently he cashed on the APPT in Seoul for 4,800,000 KRW, finishing in 26th place. This year he has also cashed within the Eureka Mini in Vienna for €610 finishing 87th and the UKIPT Main Event in Dublin coming 90th for €1,340.
The better known players are struggling to this point since getting back from the dinner break. Marius Pospiech, Ognjen Sekularac and previous WSOP Main Event winner Pius Heinz have all been knocked out of the tournament. Friend of PokerStars Natalie Hof is struggling just a little at the feature table having been pushed back to 17,500. Jan Bendik and Michael Eiler are only slightly below average with 28,000 and 32,000 respectively. Perhaps doing the most productive is Martin Kabrhel, the Czech pro is sharing the feature table with Hof and is above average with 45,000 at this point.
However, all this is able to change as there's still three and a half levels to move until the tip of play.
