Aarno Kivelio had been crippled by Joel Gaffney earlier in this level but has just scored two double-ups to be get back to more than 135,000 as the next break approaches.

Earlier, Gaffney had moved the last of his money into the middle before the flop with {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} against Kivelio's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, but his hand held up after the board was spread {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}, leaving Kivelio with just 33,500 in chips.

Moments later, Kivelio got those chip back when his {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} improved to a straight on the board of {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} against Gaffney's {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} before scoring some more off Haibo Chu when he got his money in on a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{J-Clubs} with {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against's Chu's {K-}{Q-}{8-}{4-}.

The turn and river blanked out {2-Hearts}, {5-Diamonds} and we're still at 12 players as we edge closer to the next break of the night.
