The chips are flying in the Event Center and Ken Barkoff has caught fire following the dinner break.

He is now setting behind a mountain of 345,000 which looks to be good for the current chip lead.

Barkoff's largest career score came here at the Borgata when he took down the Almighty Stack NLH event in November for over $86,000 and the trophy.

Azzaro Doubles Up

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Azzaro raised to 2,500 from middle position and the player in the big blind called. They went heads up to the {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} heart flop and both players checked.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} again both players knuckled the felt.

The {9-Clubs} hit the river and the big blind fired out a bet of 6,000. Azzaro moved all in for 22,000 and his opponent quickly called.

Azzaro turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for the nut straight and his opponent flashed his {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} before mucking.
