A really interesting table has emerged in the Blue Section here in the Amazon Room. Our chip leader with 824,000 is Brian Schaedlich and he has just been sat along side Thor Hansen and Jeff Kimber.
Thor, although seated to Schaedlich's right, is hugely experienced and will be all too aware that having the relatively inexperienced chip leader at your table offers vast opportunities to do well in this tournament.
Seated at the other end of the table is Jeff Kimber. Kimber is very highly thought of in Europe and is last year's World Heads-Up Champion. He has really managed to grow his stack today (170,000 rise) and will now look to get heads-up with Schaedlich and do some real damage.
