Robert Haigh and Ronnie Espensen (pictured) have been keeping a close eye on each others progress all day, hoping the other doesn't get too big of a lead.Haigh was getting away for a while as he reached a peak of 35,000 chips but he has since dropped back to 22,000 after losing a few pots. The last hand we witnessed him raising from early position and c-betting a flop. His neighbour called both bets and then took the pot on the turn after the German check-folded to a bet with the board reading Td4d5s 3c.
Espensen was involved in a three-way hand moments later but he managed to take both opponents off their hand with pure aggression. Funnily enough, after he raked in the pot we counted his stack to be 22,000 as well.
The recent trend would suggest the Dane as the happier of the two. Both have plenty of chips to splash around as this high caliber battle evolves very nicely.
