Brian Healy just became the first player up to 600,000 and moved into the lead after being given a rather large gift.
Adam Kaczor five-bet shoved fives smack into his aces for more than 200,000. The chip lead pot went to Healy after a board of blanks and he will likely take the lead into the first break of the day.
