Andrew DeFrancesco bet 21,000 from the button on a flop of A♦10♥2♠ and an opponent in the small blind called.
The turn was the J♣ and DeFrancesco bet 25,000. His opponent again called and checked over to DeFrancesco on the 9♠ river, and DeFrancesco checked back.
The small blind turned over K♠10♠, but DeFrancesco had turned a set with J♦J♠ to win the pot as he moved up past 300,000.

Greg Himmelbrand moved all in for 15,000 from early position and Keith Addison called in the big blind.
Greg Himmelbrand: A♥7♥ 
Keith Addison: 10♦10♣
Himmelbrand picked up a flush draw on the 8♥2♥6♣ flop, but he couldn't connect with the 4♠ turn or 3♣ river as Addison's tens stayed in the lead to send Himmelbrand to the rail.
Addison moved up to around 120,000 with that pot. Will Failla and James Calderaro were recently spotted in the field as the total number of entries on Day 1e moved up past 500.
Lingyu Zen and an opponent built a pot of around 80,000 as they went to a flop of A♣10♣A♥. Zen then got in 178,000 from middle position, and his opponent put him at risk in the cutoff to create a massive pot of more than 450,000.
Lingyu Zen: 10♦10♥
Opponent: A♦J♠
The cutoff had flopped trips, but Zen turned over a flopped full house. The board ran out 6♣Q♠ and Zen, who finished runner-up in the Deep Stack Kick Off event earlier this festival, doubled up.
"I told you I'm lucky," he told his tablemates.
A player in early position bet 25,000 on a flop of K♦6♣6♦ and Dean Seal called in middle position.
The turn was the 2♥ and the early-position player bet another 55,000. Seal again called, and the 2♣ fell on the river. The early-position player shuffled around his chips for a minute before moving all in for around 85,000, and Seal quickly called.
The at-risk player instantly mucked his cards, and Seal turned over Q♣Q♠ to win the massive pot and score the knockout.
"If he acts right away, do you still call?" a tablemate asked Seal.
"I figured he didn't have the king. It was a hard call, but I was already so far in there," Seal replied as he moved up to around 400,000.
Nick Palma recently joined the field on Day 1e of the $500 Almighty Stack.
With around 35,000 in the middle on a board of 4♦8♦A♦A♥, a player in middle position bet 30,000 before Daniel Amsalem raised to 80,000 in the hijack. The middle-position player then moved all in for 86,000, and Amsalem called.
All-In player: A♠K♦
Daniel Amsalem: Q♦10♦
The at-risk player showed trips with a flush draw, while Amsalem had flopped a flush to take the lead. The river was the 7♠, and Amsalem took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
Amsalem, who made a deep run in the Super Deep 6-Max event, is currently sitting on a massive stack of 350,000 on Level 6. The tournament clock shows 441 entries so far today.
Giorgi Arveladze and Cleveland Richards went to the turn on a board of J♠3♣4♠A♣ when Arveladze moved all in for 37,000 from middle position. Richards called in the small blind.
Giorgi Arveladze: J♣7♣
Cleveland Richards: A♠J♦
Arveladze had a pair and flush draw, while Richards was ahead with two pair. The 9♠ river was no help to Arveladze, and the Super Deep 6-Max runner-up was sent to the rail. Richards, meanwhile, moved up to around 170,000.

On Level 5 of the $500 Almighty Stack, a player in the hijack bet 2,500 on a flop of A♥7♥3♠ before the button raised to 7,500. Ryan Gaynor called in the big blind, while the hijack folded.
Gaynor led out for 10,000 on the Q♠ turn, and the button called. The river was the Q♦ and Gaynor bet another 10,000. His opponent turned over A♠7♠ and tossed it into the muck. Gaynor flashed the A♣ as he took the pot, moving up to around 160,000.
