Just before the end of the last level, the chip lead changed hands in a pot that went well on into the scheduled break.
Sam Trickett opened to 32,000 from middle position and Marco Leonzio 3-bet to 90,000 on the button. Trickett then clicked it back to 160,000 and Leonzio instantly called.
The flop was 
and Tricket carefully slid out a bet of 100,000 to which Leonzio immediately moved all-in for 602,000 more. Trickett was visibly disturbed by this and stood up out of his chair.
"Aargh, why did you give me kings?" He then turned to the motionless Leonzio and said, "You've played your aces tricky, will you show if I fold? Both cards?"
Trickett continued to try and get Leonzio to agree to show, but unsatisfied with the Italian's reply, his attitude changed.
"I might be slowrolling you here, I might be, in which case I apologise."
Finally Trickett shrugged his shoulders and said, "I call," turning over 
while Leonzio seemed to shrink when he had to turn over 
("I was slowrolling you!" said Trickett) and the 
turn and 
river could not save him.
Afterwards, Trickett explained, "I knew he didn't have queens, but surely he would've just calls with jacks, tens and nines. I mean he still has 700,000 back."
Trickett is now on 2,000,000.
