Big Stack Watch

Yesterday Ference Riech broke the 200,000 mark, but by the time play ended he'd dropped to around 160,000. A decent chunk of those chips ended up in the hands of fellow young German Adrian Appmann, and at the close of play Appmann was in possession of around 125,000. So far today Appmann has done nothing but increase that stack, and he's now well above 160,000, vying with former tablemate Riech for the chip lead.

Meanwhile across the room a similar success story is that of young Hungarian Emil Hegedüs. Like Appmann, Hegedüs started the day on 125,000, and he's now got over 140,000.
