His table has broken and he landed to the left of John Dolan, the former chip leader.  Marc is up to ~110k.

Martin Welch has taken the chip lead after more than doubling up through John Dolan.  Martin flopped two pair in a 3-way pot.  Dolan had top pair and the third player had a flush draw.  When John and the other player whiffed, Martin chipped up to nearly 200k.

The remaining 36 players are on a 60-minute dinner break.  Play will resume at about 6:40pm
