Marco!... Roppolo!

We arrived too late to see all of the significant action, though there was a bunch of it. Here's what we know: Joseph Roppolo had raised preflop, and he had been three-bet by Josh Kay, his fellow big stack across the table.

The two men went heads up to a jack-high flop with two rags, and Roppolo took the betting lead with 40,000. Kay promptly raised to 120,000 total, and Roppolo made the call. Both men check-checked another rag apiece on the turn and river, and Roppolo turned over queen-jack for top pair. It was good; Kay mucked his cards back to the dealer, and the pot that was pushed to Roppolo gives his chip lead a bit of a cushion. In fact, he's the first player over the million-chip mark as well; we count him at about 1.05 million now.
