It looked like Carl Carodenuto would a chance before the end of the night to move past the huge Flight B stack of Jonathan Lagace-Bastien and he did it with three levels remaining.

He could still back that off over the next two hours but he will put a big number in a bag.

The latest big hand came when Carodenuto knocked someone out after they put their money in drawing stone dead. It was three-ways with the board reading Kc9c3c7s and Carodenuto was facing a shove for 40,000. He flatted the bet and the third player smelled something funny and let his top pair King go.

Carodentu quickly tabled Ac5c for the nut flush and his opponent reluctantly showed the no-chance-to-win JcTd. That hand pushed Carodentu up to 365,000 as they get ready for the next break.
