Jace Dragging Pots

David Bach was just announced as the first player to cross the 3-million-chip mark, but he's got some company now. In fact, he's in second place again.

We just saw Russell Thomas get his last 580,000 chips into the middle on a {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} flop, but we missed the betting action that led to the shove. It's hard to fault him for going with {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} when he flopped the set, but Daryl Jace had flopped even better with {6-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. The nuts, they call that. He needed to fade a board-pair to earn the knockout, and the turn {6-Diamonds} and river {J-Spades} were safe and clean.

With the elimination of Thomas, Jace has worked his stack al the way up to about 3.3 million and into the top spot overall.
