Kirk Acevedo made it 57,000 under the gun and Frank Katana called before Tyler Gardner shoved in from the big blind for some 200,000 more.
Both players called and the flop came down 
. Acevedo led into the dry side pot for 140,000 and Katana called. The turn came the and after Acevedo checked, Katana took the lead, betting 200,000.
Out of his chair at the time, Acevedo announced he was all in. After a minute in the tank, Katana mucked. Acevedo rolled over 
having flopped a set. Gardner had 
and was drawing dead.
Following a meaningless river card, the massive pot was pushed to Acevedo and he grabbed the chip lead as the first player up to two million in chips.
With 20 left they just redrew for seats at the final two tables.

Shorter stacks John Yanni and Randy Lingenfelter got it all in preflop with Yanni holding 
and Lingenfelter on 
.
Lingenfelter turned two pair on the 
board, but Tanni's aces held when he made a club flush on the river.
In the meantime, on the other table, Pat Tighe ran out of gas running pocket eights into John Grace's 
all in preflop. Grace flopped two pair to bust Tighe 17th.
Then suddenly, back at the other table, Kirk Acevedo and Tom Urbanski got it all in on a 
board to the turn. Urbanski had nines for an overpair, but Acevedo's spiked a flush on the 
river to bust him 16th.
With just 15th left Acevedo has heaps and is running away with this thing.
