Dan "dan82mur" Murariu and "shuriken555" are in a two-way race for the chip lead. Murariu just raked in the stack of Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen to increase his total to nearly 3.3 million, which for the moment was good enough to take the pole position.

The aggressive Hunichen then four-bet out of the small blind to 151,885, and the original raiser got out of the way. Murariu wasn't done, however; he shipped his 2.5 million-chip stack in the middle and Hunichen called instantly to create a pot worth more than 1.5 million:
