Merry-Chair-Round-Chip-Lead-Go-Round
Ted Forrest held the lead when the heads-up match began. He had also taken to getting up from his chair and walking a wide cricle around it between pots. Andrew Brown looked to be unfazed by all of this as he took control of the match and jumped into the chip lead. Forrest regained the chip lead just slightly for a few minutes, but then Brown took control of the match again. Brown never gave that lead back as he began to lean on Forrest and showed no signs of slowing down as the tournament played late into the night.
