PCA 2012: Down to two tables, Visser leads

We’re down to two tables and Dutchman Ruben ‘rubentv’ Visser has moved into the lead while overnight chip monster Faraz Jaka has slipped below the 2,010,000 average. We’re back to eight-handed play across these last two tables. The pressure is ramping up yet again with half of the remaining players gaining a final table berth.

Table one
1 Lee Goldman – 2,885,000
2 Daniel Shiff – 1,650,000
3 Ruben Visser – 3,110,000
4 Nikolaos Alafogiannis – 625,000
5 Martin Jacobson – 2,780,000
6 Kyle Julius – 2,855,000
7 Alex Fitzgerald – 2,820,000
8 Xuan Liu – 1,920.000

Table two
1 David Granados – 1,000,000
2 John Dibella – 995,000
3 Anthony Gregg – 1,360,000
4 Sam Greenwood – 760,000
5 Mark Drover – 1,645,000
6 Faraz Jaka – 1,515,000
7 David Bernstein – 2,865,000
8 Phil D’Auteuil – 2,905,000

Even short stack Nikolaos Alafogiannis has 15 big blinds so there’s no guarantees for any of these 16 remaining players. Six more bust-outs until we hit the six-figure payouts.
