The 4 p.m. tournament on Monday was Event #46: $3,000 Six-Max Pot-Limit Omaha. Few forms of poker engender so much action, and the end of 10 levels of play saw 154 of 682 entrants survive, with Arseniy Makhaev atop the counts at 213,700.

Makhaev won a huge pot just before the players bagged up to end the night. He got a set of deuces in on a {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} board against a player holding {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a monster combo draw. Makhaev managed to fade everything as the {3-Hearts} fell, and that was enough to propel him to the end-of-night lead.

Other survivors included Ashton Griffin (168,300), Erick Lindgren (150,700), Joe Ebanks (135,600), Mohsin Charania (112,500), Robert Mizrachi (82,800), Ami Barer (78,200), and Joe Hachem (43,000).

Play resumes at 2 p.m. Tuesday on Level 11 (600/1,200).
