After a flurry of eliminations put a furious finish to Day 2, the final table of Heartland Poker Tour Ameristar East Chicago $1,650 Main Event is set with Mike O'Neill pacing way in front of the competition after bagging almost one-third of the chips in play.

With over $300,000 in cashes, O'Neill certainly isn't lacking experience as eight of his eleven career cashes come from HPT events and he'll look to add another HPT trophy to his collection after his first-place finish at HPT Meadows last year taking home $93,340.

He's certainly put himself in a fantastic position to break through with a win. O'Neill will enter the final table toting just shy of 5 million, almost 2 million more than second-place Josh Reichard.

Aside from Reichard's 2,820,000, no other player eclipsed the 2 million mark but eight of the nine players all hold over 1 million in chips with Michael Koh falling just shy of the milly mark with 970,00.
