![[user252447]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The heads-up match between Paul Michaelis and Erle Mankin is still going on. They were the first players to get heads up and, after a 20-minute break, they played through the dinner break so they are one level ahead of the rest of the tournament,
Mankin had battled back from a large deficit but is now at a big disadvantage again. The match is incredibly hard fought with no quarter given but it is also being played with great humor. Mankin looked up his German opponent on his phone and said to him, ��Only one bracelet? Even that old guy has two bracelets. I see you like playing low buy-in events.��
Michaelis for his part returned the song Mankin had sung to him earlier, ��You��re getting short, it��s going to be over soon.��
