As we crawl into the final half an hour or so, it would appear as though Andre Santos and Kristian Aksnes have maintained their grip on the tournament, but only just. With 118,000 and 132,000 respectively, both remain top of the pile, but are being hotly pursued by the chasing pack. One player in particular who has enjoyed a last minute rush is the charismatic Helder Rodrigues, the vocal Portuguse amateur becoming one of few to hit that magic 100,000 mark and finally apply some much needed pressure on the front-runners. Also worth keeping a keen eye on are Lasse Lian (75,000), Jan Heitmann (54,000) and Stephan Kjaerstad (51,000), all of whom are more than capable of building a big stack.
