Marco Cantizani (Brazil)

"Live blogged coverage" is in place to make sure that every has their opportunity to gain "face time," but sometimes the cards have other ideas.  The focus has been on Marco Cantizani numerous times this afternoon, but for a moment it was looking like he'd be back tomorrow on another bullet.  He was below the chip average, and saw his chip leading stack shrink to 70,000.

Many of his chip went the way of Abbey Daniels, who managed to chip up to 160,000.  Not even an hour passed before things completely flip-flopped, and Abbey would be walking away from Table 1, eliminated at the hands of Marco.  He's now over 300,000, and with only one level remaining in the night, is the strong favorite to bag the chip lead.
