David 'Dae Dae' Battaglia leads heading into the second break of the day.
He raised it up with the old 
, getting three callers before flopping a gutshot and a flush draw on a board with two spades.
He check-raised a flop bet and got the call to go heads-up to an turn that now gave him a double-gutter. A bet and a call saw them go down to the river where Battaglia piled it in for 22,000 after the came down, making him the nut-low straight.
He got the call and the muck to start the push towards six-figures faster than anyone else in the room as they head into a 10-minute break starting now with the board reading 167 entries and 137 remaining.
