Thomas Mader has joined the group at the top of the counts, bringing chip leader Jeff Kandefer down to earth in the process.

First, Mader busted one short stack with about 45,000, who ran {a-}{j-} into his pocket tens. Then, he snatched a 160,000-chip pot off of Kandefer, making two pair aces and queens on the river, and forcing a fold after heaps went in on the turn.
