Possible Chip Leader

I didn't catch the action (I did inquire with Peter Singleton, but after passing pocket jacks he was understandably unaccommodating), but all the money went in preflop with Simon La Thangue holding {J-Spades}{10-Spades} against his opponent's {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Thankful to be coin-flipping, a ten on a {10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board gave La Thangue both the pot and yet another scalp. He now has more chips than Harry Ramsden's and is your possible chip leader with just under 25,000.
