Heinz Schlüter (Germany) was given the nickname "Heinz The Hammer" by his table mates, after running hot over the course of the last two levels.

The landscape of the leaderboard has been very fluid, with a handful of new names finding their way to the top twenty.  After winning a 300,000+ pot just moments ago, Heinz Schluter (Germany) assumed the top spot, now sitting with 580,000.  Schluter has already seen some success this series, taking second place money in a heads-up chop of Event #10 ($2,500 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max).  Heinz has recorded five results in the states since September, including a 6th place finish in the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em MSPT Michigan Main Event (Battle Creek), which saw a return of over $43,000.
