It's only Level 5 so it's probably a bit early to be getting into awkward things like hands and chip counts and so on, but this one is a monster and I am fairly certain that it has given us our first runaway chip leader.
I only caught it on the river; by that point the pot was a vast mountain of high-denomination chips. The board read J-K-Q-8-A and Gottfried had turned over K-T for the straight. His opponent turned over pocket jacks - from his triumphant flourish, it looked as though he thought he'd won the pot for a moment. Gottfried tapped the ten in his hand meaningfully, and raked in what, since we are in Austria, I feel entirely justified in describing as a monsterpotten.
Gottfried is at over 75,000 after that, and I can't see anyone else who's even close.
