A little luck builds a big stack

The chip lead seems to be changing hands more often as we approach the money positions and the latest player to find himself aloft is Rumen Nanev.

The Bulgarian player is sitting on 530,000 after gaining some momentum - with a little help from Lady Luck herself.

He claimed his latest scalp when his 77 found help on the river against a rival's 88 and that success put him clear of Pablo Zarazaga.
