Big stacks will usually steer clear of each other in these opening stages of a multi-flight tournaments, but that wasn't the case between Julian Wohlgemuth (pictured left), and Elliot Zaydman (not pictured).

It looked as if Elliot Zaydman (Coconut Creek, FL) was going to take a sizable chip lead into the flight's final break, but that was before he got tangled in a hand with Julian Wohlgemuth.  Elliot would find his stack go from 130,000 to 90,000 after the confrontation, with Julian chipping up to 180,000.  Wohlgemuth's stack makes him the current favorite in the race for the chip lead bonus, with four more levels of play remaining after break.  Once the cards are back in the air for Level 13, we will bring you a second look at updated chip counts from the field.
