Nitsche the Chip Leader
Dominik Nitsche is now easily the chip lead after he recently eliminated two opponents. The hand in question took about ten minutes to play out after some mistakes from the dealer, but eventually this is what happened.
Nitsche was in early position and opened it up to 1,000. Folded around to Todor Kondevski and he called from the cutoff. Now the action was on the big blind player and he moved all in for 8,150. Nitsche then tumbled out a raise before Kondevski moved all in. Back on Nitsche and he made the call, having Kondevski well covered. This is when the hand stalled, as the dealer fumbled with the amounts for the two pots. Eventually the floor was called and the dispute was worked out as the players turned their cards over.
Nitsche: 
Kondevski: 
Big Blind: 
The board ran out 
, with Nitsche hitting a set of jacks on the flop to scoop up the massive pot that sees his stack sit at six figures.
