Leon Morford
Leon Morford has leapfrogged Jason Mirza at the top of the leaderboard after a huge heads-up pot between the two.
The action wasn't clear but the gist of it was Morford rivered a set of deuces against Mizra's open-ended straight flush draw.
Kenneth Go busted 18th when he shoved 
and James Kasputis made the call behind him holding two queens.
A queen on the flop gave Kasputis a set for good measure.
Dan Meddaugh and Michael Slutzky have both gone broke, the former making two pair, but losing to a rivered flush.
With that there are just 18 players remaining at the final two tables.
