Even though Daniel Chlimper has not one recorded tournament result on Hendon Mob, he's showing no sign of inexperience at the tables.

When we collected chip counts earlier, and Daniel Chlimper was one of the players atop the leaderboard, we did some research to find prior results.  It was actually thought that the spelling of his last name was wrong, because not a single result showed under the name Daniel Chlimper.  Just moments ago, after Paulius Bikus shoved from early position for 130,000, Chlimper (who just moved the table) three-bet to 325,000.  The three-bet elicited folds from each of the players behind, including John Magnetta, who showed that he was folding 9♠ 9♦:

Chlimper: A♠ K♠

Bikus: A♣ 5♥

Runout: 3♦ 6♦ 8♦ J♦ 6♠

Chlimper's better ace-high was good to take down the pot...which Magnetta would have won, had he decided to play his hand.  John's fold was Daniel's fortune, as he extends his overall chip lead.

Daniel Chlimper - 1,500,000 (60bb)

Juan Reyes (Miami, FL) needed to sweat the turn and river on his all-in, but his pocket tens were able to hold, and he'd more than double up.

Table 3 was approached just as Solange Lucas was shoving her remaining 180,000 across her cards.  Prior to her doing that, Juan Reyes had gone all-in for 271,000, with Brett Biegler making the call.  Once Lucas completed the action, the cards would be exposed:

Reyes: 10♥ 10♦
Biegler: A♥ Q♥
Lucas: A♦ K♠

Runout: 7♣ 5♣ 3♥ 4♥ 3♦

Reyes saw his hand hold through the flop, but had to fade even more outs on the turn, as Biegler added a flush draw to his outs.  With the board pairing (and not being a heart) Reyes would lock up the hand, and more than double up, bringing Beigler's stack down below the 1,000,000 chip mark.

Brett Biegler - 880,000 (44bb)

Juan Reyes - 720,000 (36bb)
